I hear you on the out of sight out of mind thing on the littler kids, but, I dont buy it. I think it is actually just very good denial mechanism in place*. Mine will vocalize his anxiety in counseling(about daddy). Not to me, AND NEVER to his daddy. BUt, I saw last week, that his daddy coming over to buy him a bike and acting slightly erratic set him into an anxiety attack. It was really hard. He is 6. I know. I have similar questions about letting the emotional sleeping dogs lie... I have been just asking him,. "do you need to tell me about any worries from today?" |

yeah, I know what "go to the store means" I don't try to argue, enable, control or stop him from doing anything anymore. I knew what he was going to do.....I guess I can only keep existing boundaries and set new ones if needed. I also know that I will never have full closure from him...he's the father of my dear children. I have (finally, after years.....why didn't I start sooner?) started keeping a journal of things and am starting the process of some drastic steps regarding his access to the kids. Wish I didn't have to, but it's long overdue. |
