I too had a Mom who worked, 11 to 7 and I made it clear that I wanted to stay in home and raise what became 3 sons.
He had a Mom that had a career in the family business , type A achiever , doing all… I wasn’t geared that way , and the lack of response in raising our sons was acute .
I still feel women whose Mothering instincts are to be in home with children , perhaps until they are in school.
Like France , I’d like for American Moms to be supported by our government.. food, and much more … children deserve a Mom who has support from her partner from inception on..
Our sons had a skewed perspective from Dad , that he was the all knowing, all powerful as they were taught by him that money and his family were the power , and I was of little importance , just taking his money and not doing my job .
I was drained by his energy , his distorted character and his inability to change , to grow, to see what was needed without being told .
I was drugged into submission when out youngest was 6 .
A judge had ruled children did not need their Mom after age 6…
The control and keeping his social appearance, meant he had to demonize me , he had to win.
And then there was the therapist who stated in our 1st meeting . ” you are not a Mother anymore, fund something else to do “. Unfortunately, i was in a deep state of trauma , this
” professional ” ignored . He went on to hold a state head of psychological health !
Sadly there a lot of men who are in positions of power that do not accept the needs of a child and their Mom .
He totally missed the malignant , high conflict , intimate partner violence .
Nothing is more violent than targeting a Mom, and ignoring her adverse reactions to toxic RX , false diagnosis.
Very unfortunate that he took no interest in our children’s mental , physical , or emotional health , only winning , from his targeted wife.
Daily stories that make you smile, think, laugh, and cry a little.
