I...My husband has a very similar story to that....<br /><br />I don't get that behavior. Move in with a person you're allegedly in love with, and then as a way to eliminate the attention-competition, put down THE CHILD in the house to assert your dominance.<br /><br />Is she still in the picture, out of curiousity?<br /><br />I have the same issue with being serious ( no... who... me?)

Each parent handles it differently, each child reacts differently....and in my opinion, no one can impress their own "this is what happens" on anyone else.<br /><br />Reading this, I have gained yet another perspective on it. Thank you for sharing something so personal. This is actually a topic I've been considering for awhile now after conversations I've had with a friend of mine.<br /><br />Why a grown person says mean or hurtful things to a child is difficult to understand, certainly. I think part of it comes from the idea that the child actually understands THEIR influence in the adult's life. That the child understands how their behavior is affecting the lives of those around them. What's hardest for the adult to understand is that the child doesn't actually comprehend the full impact, even when it appears they do. That might sound really confusing...but it's something that I've come to realize as both the child AND the adult in this scenario.jmthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910737494137891606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11616301.post-67319465176505031342010-01-21T17:47:52.981-10:002010-01-21T17:47:52.981-10:00Isn't it great to have breakthroughs like thes...Isn't it great to have breakthroughs like these?

It's ...I am very proud of you for writing this. It's very easy to assume that people like you more for your sense of humor, but your humor comes from the totality of your experience. You can be funny because you've learned to use humor as a survival mechanism. I don't think a truly funny person is ever shallow; they laugh because if they didn't they'd cry.<br /><br />You are worth it, you always have. I have never understood why anyone would want to undermine a child's confidence. Now that I am a parent it makes even less sense why you would want to damage a beautiful little person.Claudya Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034216831504207496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11616301.post-33663189918463832312010-01-17T21:59:16.356-10:002010-01-17T21:59:16.356-10:00Comedy has been my wall for years.

Of course, it stung even when I was an adult being talked down to/about by my father's girlfriend. No one emerges from a divorce unscathed, and unfortunately it's the children who suffer the most. Hugs, my lady.
