[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every day before school and before bed and then every time anyone left the house. Ironically, my mom was emotionally abusive. So, I've never felt like the words "I love you" mean much. It's how people show their love that I find important. [/quote] Yes, you can say it all you want, but actions speak louder than words. My husband’s mother says “I love you” all the time. Constantly. But she is mean, judgmental, hypercritical and emotionally labile. She almost seems to view us all with contempt - we don’t have enough money or class, the house isn’t nice enough, the kids and I aren’t attractive enough, I make my husband (her son) do too much around the house, our minivan is embarrassing. The kids laugh and say “grandma says she loves us but she really hates us!” I tell them that I think grandma loves them in her own way, and our kids just laugh. My husband stays quiet, and tells me “let them draw their own conclusions.”[/quote]
