Finally! I'm feeling some compassion for my skids. We have been taking the whole group to therapy every other week and Skid 17, said something really sad last time.

My bs 17 was confronting me for not being as affectionate to him lately (we are dealing with separation issues as he is getting ready to leave the nest and go away to college) and ss 17 shared how he thought we were a very close family when they first met us. He talked about how he would come over and be surprised to see us joking and hugging and kissing and being generally warm and affectionate with each other.
