OK, talk to my son today and my JW daughter 30yrs old. A large
age difference. She still stay in contact with me .( she have been warn
by elders ). She told me she have moved on and yes some of the things
that describes a narcissistic mom she can relate too. Her life was great
not as bad as her brother. Their was time when she was younger she
could not understand her mother action, and she would never do the
same too her kids,(two children). This is great because the cycle is
broken. She ask me, dad what do you remerber about mom?
Years ago I stop talking negative about their mom to my kids, it
accomplish nothing. My daughter told me I know mom beleive in tough love,
and she did not show affection. I told her yes I knew this about your mom,
her mother was the same. I really feel bad for my kids, I had no idea this
was the case in our hosehold. She did tell me , dad you were the only one
I can recall taking us kids to places to have fun, doing things with us and
for us. But I have forgiven mom and moved on. For the last two days I have
not been able to sleep. Why would A person take the joy of being A kid, take
that away from them. I knew she was selfish, but I thought it was directed
at me, not my kids. I am sorry friends but this is all new to me. So I need to
talk too my other son and see how he feels. My oldest daughter I will never
know (she also A jw), have not talk to her in over 7-8 years. She was the
golden child.
