 Re: Is it wrong for a mother to wish her son was more attractive? | |
She isn't the only parent out there who feels that way, I am surprised more people don't realize that. And I am not sure how amny have teens, I can say, that at one time or another I have looked at my children and thought they could look better, yes, sometimes it's a weight issue and sometimes it is just thier appearance, but in no way does that mean I don't love them and I am sure the same could be said for her.
It sounds like her and her son lack any communication, she needs to get to know her son on his level, understand him more, see where he is coming from, know if he is happy with himself cause if he isn't happy and sending of vibes mom will pick up on them, she may not see for herself that she is picking up her sons 'unhappy' vibes. It's similar to when a spouse or boyfriend are unhappy, we pick up on the vibes but aren't exactly sure what the vibes are, unless the talk to us.
COmmunicate, communicate and good luck.
