A Note to the Original Mom from Mary
This situation sounds very painful and difficult for you and all family members that are involved. It must take a tremendous amount of energy to regain ground after your son returns to you from his Dad's. I hope you have the support of friends and family.
It seems for many to be much easier to look outward with blame (especially when painful) than it is to look inward. It is easy for me to say, but at least the Dad is not projecting his anger on this sweet, compassionate boy. I hope you can get the support you need and find ways of protecting yourself emotionally from his raging and negativity.
It is wonderful that you see your son's strengths and love him for his uniqueness. This has got to be comforting for him to know he has a parent who sees him for who he is. ~Mary
