Thanks for the update. You are too good a mom- giving him over 6 weeks.
I would say more about your being too good, but really, that is what make you
into the person you are. I am happy that you are so good. I hope your
son appreciates your "hard" love despite his shunning.
Try to remember that he is being controlled, but he still might snap out of it
and treat such a good mother right. Strength to you.
