Shortly after my ex-husband and I moved in temporarily with his parents, I realized why he treated me the way he did. His parents intended to raise him and his siblings to be good children, but in a harshly critical and judgmental way. This broke my heart, especially when they were critical of him in front of me, and I always came to his defense. He, because this was the way he thought love was, treated me the same way. I had to fight very hard for love, true love, and acceptance.
How do you tell someone that the best way to arm their children with strength, to show them love, and to help them be the best person they can be, is to let them be who they are and support their unfolding?
