[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a parent's job to look for the best in their children and seek to bring it out. When parents get rigid ideas about what kids should be like and reject their kids for failing to live up to that rigid expectation, they are failing as parents. Your DH is being immature. This is his failure, not your son's. But it will hurt them both. I have two parents who never saw the best of me and viewed me instead as a disappointment instead of seeing what is wonderful about me. I have to work every single day to make up for that deficit because I grew up with such low self esteem and rejection. People like this should not have children.[/quote] Yeah in some ways not even having parental attention is better than constantly being told you don’t measure up. I’m sorry you had to deal with this (still dealing with it). [/quote]
