I had an awesome conversation with my SS yesterday. It was like an epiphany moment for him. All week we've been talking about people who have come from hard backgrounds and become famous. Like Maya Angelou. We've talked a lot about poverty. We've had some good conversations about decision making. He's so smart. But yesterday something came up and it led us into talking about you can live your own life regardless of how you were raised. He's met my mom and knows about her. So we talked about how my mom abused me. He knew what she did was wrong. And then I asked him if I'd ever been mean to him. He said no. I asked him if I'd ever hurt him. He said no. He told me that the only times I have ever spanked him were when he deserved it. DH told him that I didn't grow up to be like my mom. He sat really quietly for a few minutes and then he said, "So if I make different choices I don't have to be like my Mom and Douche Bag?" I said, "Correct. You can control your own life." He thought for a minute and said, "I'm going to make better choices so I'm not like them." I quietly gave myself a high five.

I can feel your high five all the way over here! Way to go, NJN!

Thanks LL and chef. I hope it works. DH says SS worships the ground I walk on. I don't know why. I know he loves me. He's always hugging me and telling me he loves me. When I picked him up at school the other day we were walking to the car and we had to walk between the buses to cross over to it. We walked between two buses and just as we stepped out this car came speeding by. Instinctively I grabbed his hand. I said, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. That car was speeding and I didn't want you to get hit." He told me, "You can hold my hand anytime. I'd rather be alive with you than humiliated in front of my friends." He's an almost 11 year old boy. They don't hold hands with their parents. I thought it was really cute he said that.
