Guest guest Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I forgot to add, he stood his ground, but in a solid, quiet way, not argumentative, not angry, just quiet strength. He later said to me "I love you Mom, you are the only parent who really cares about me" I said "Oh honey, I am sure your father cares about you" and his answer was "yes, but not for the right reasons" the kid is way more perceptive then even I thought. ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ -- proud I am so frikkin' proud of Robbin right now I could burst!
