Chapter 7 Post 2

While I was looking back at this chapter, I was thinking about my past memories as a child. I remember my mom telling me about when my brother was born. I was about one and half at this point and I ended up having to get stitches because I was jumping on my moms bed in the hospital and I ended up falling and hitting my head on the breast pump. My mom said I immediately cried and went to hear but she was holding my baby brother at the time so I had to go to my dad. Ever since then my dad and I had a bond that no one ever seemed to understand. I would do everything with him. We went out to eat together or shopping. I remember just before he died a few years ago we were laying upstairs in his room working on his grading for University of Phoenix and for YTI Career Institute. I was helping him since he was so weak. Ever since that day I hold onto that special memory of my dad and I. I never really thought that my dad and I would have a close relationship because he was always working and I was definitely more attached to my mom. I love my mom and she has definitely given me the best things life has to offer and helped me graduate after I had my son. Now I see my son gaining the emotions but I know he is definitely a momma's boy due to the fact that he hates that his dad doesn't play with him so my son ignores his dad when he walks into the room. He gets super excited when I pick him up from school and he wants to do puzzles with me. It is very clear my son has definitely learned attachment and he explains his emotions. I am definitely enjoying this class and learning different things about everyone through this blog and just other peoples perspective on the chapter for the week.
