So, I wanted to share my experience with you guys, where all of this started!!!!
So, this is about a year ago when my husband and I separated due to some personal reasons. For a few months, the boy my husband and I had adopted was behaving very strangely. He would spend most of his time in his room; he didn't have any friends, nor did he ever go out.
I used to go into his room often to talk to him about why he was acting this way, telling him that he should go out and make some friends.
One day, I was lying on the couch in my living room watching a movie when I saw him coming downstairs. His behavior this time was totally changed; he talked with a smile, and his mood was really good. He told me, 'I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back in a while.' I said, 'Okay, have fun,' and I continued watching the movie.
He came back after a little while—I think after about an hour—and asked me, 'Should I make your favorite coffee?' I said, 'Why not?' I wasn't really in the mood, but I didn't want to ruin his good mood. He went into the kitchen and came back 10 minutes later with the coffee cups, then sat down with me to watch the movie.
