Oh, yes, that is not uncommon, Bill, unfortunately. It is very confusing for children to grow up this way. I encourage you do the work to sort out how it all affected you.

My parents never made me stick with anything, and because of my learning disability gave me a pass on school work. At the same time we were held to a very high standard of behavior in public.

Dear Sal, changing yourself will definitely have a positive effect on your son. In fact, it’s already happening! Just keep up the work you’re doing and focus in on healing your own CEN. It will have ripple effects all through your life, but especially on your son.

I am definitely the above. Just finished your 2nd book (the first is on order!). This evening I gently tried ‘noticing’ something my 21 Yr old son was good at and was amazed when this led to a long, deep talk about so many things. I am so plsd and didn’t expect such a reaction. I am going to read Yr 1st bk and gradually follow the parent/child advice. My biggest worry/sadness is that some of my ‘decisions’ over the yrs hv caused him such hurt and distress (I took him out of school to homeschool when he got distressed one time, shared too much and leant on him too much during his father’s and my breakup) I worry that even with me owning these things and apologising, the hurt he feels and the damage he thinks that has been done to his life (of course, at the moment he says that he’s moved on etc) can never be healed. I really want to believe that working on myself and connecting with my sons in the ways you describe can help us to become whole over time. I am just so grateful to find your books and this site. Having someone describe how I feel is a revalation – thank you so much
