Problem Child
As each day comes I have another burden added on to the already existing ones. My life has always been centered around my children. But sometimes I find their behaviour and attitude very repulsive. My daughter is almost 17 years old. She is going to college from this June. She did not have a proper home as a child. It took us almost 5 years after her birth to establish a home. Tilll then my husband and I were split. Believe me this was not our choice. My mother-in-law had a large role to play in this and my husband did not have the courage to stand upto her. So till today she clings to me and does not want to venture out on her own. She cannot even go to a shop close by on her own.
My son who is 11 years old is totally opposite. He knows current affairs, can drive a car, ride a bike and above all is very pious. But at school he is a loner. He has no friends and does not copy down notes or write his exams. All his teachers complain about him and are advising us to take him for couselling.
My daughter's main sorrow is that her father is not earning. Even though I got her everything that she wanted, she used to say that in her school she was unable to tell her friends that her father got her gifts. Apparently her friends had been showing off. My daughter longs for her father to talk highly about her. But he always praises his nieces and nephew. When I try to advise him, he says I have brainwashed the kids against him and going to ruin their lives like I ruined his.
Bottomline in all this I think is the lack of understanding by my husband. If he had stopped his excessive drinking and been kind to them instead of shouting at them all the time, they would have been better off. Could anyone tell me why my son especially is against studying and is it absolutely necessary to take him for couselling. Of course, I have prayed for guidance, but not got an answer yet.
I do not have much time to spend with them except the weekends. My husband had a weakness for alcohol and is now undertreatement for heartattack. He is unemplyed for the past 13 years. Generally he has not held proper job for the past 20 years or so. We are married for 26 years.
