[QUOTE="Malika, post: 587863, member: 11227"] Okay, here's my two or 20 cents' worth. I think children, even small children (particularly bright small children), instinctively know what side their emotional bread is buttered - they know where stability and security are to be found, and they know that that is what they need (unconsciously of course). It sounds to me like J simply is making his wise choice. He is trying to organise matters so that he is left with the one stable and sane (it is truly mad to demand that a child "love" a stranger who has usurped his father's place) parent. I wouldn't think anything dreadful is happening with his mother and her partner other than that they are dragging him along in their unstable wake and he doesn't want it. I say this partly because I have seen other kids doing it. They really choose the more level, balanced, stable of the parents and "reject" the other one. From their perspective, it is quite wise.
