I understand totally how a child can be so loving that it hurts your inner core to see him strive to love you so much to make up for the father. I want him to grow up and know that it's ok to show emotion and feelings and most people do need that affection. I think I am doing what I can to counteract for the lack of affection his father shows to me and especially the lack of love he feels for me. My son is the world to me and he always knows when mommy is sad because he turns from a kid to a young man and even talks to me sometimes like a therapist would do. I know that it's not his job to make mommy feel better, but it makes him feel better to see me smile.
