Is my son jealous? Or struggling to cope with change?

I haven't read through all the responses yet, but since this is a topic that's pretty close to my heart, though I should go ahead and give my take on this before I have a chance to overthink it. Sorry, it's a bit epic. My brothers and I were super close to our divorced mom.

Our dad wasn't in the picture, so it felt like we were a team, us against the world. In some ways, that bond is great, but it makes the dating thing very hard. All my thoughts are based on what my mom did well and did poorly when she started dating.

Since our relationship nearly fell apart permanently as the result of one guy she dated when I was a teenager, it's pretty personal to me. No matter how great the guy is, you being in a relationship with someone is very disrupting for your kids. The family unit goes from one thing with one set of rules to another thing with a new set of rules, seemingly overnight and without their input.

They are bound to be jealous, at least for a while. Every time you date someone ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
