Dear Priscilla:

You are welcome. As a child it was your mother that was at home with you much of the time, being “the nurturer”, while your father worked many hours outside the home. Let’s focus on your mother then: you wrote that she was not content with her life and that she was not content with her husband (your father).

Do you remember being a child and noticing that she was not content, feeling bad about her not being content or happy?

If you do, do you remember the ways you tried to make her content/ happy?
