I see these interactions as formative in our early relationship. This was the sconed summer that I was with Ben and Quin. I had just graduated from college and massage and polarity therapy training. Ben was working full time so I took care of Quin for three weeks straight before I began my private practice…I didn’t know then that I was searching for a definition of my role in Quin’s life. But during this time in our journey together, he told me over and over that he wanted a similar-to-mother figure in his home with his dad. So this is what our relationship grew from…

You really hiked through uncharted territory with Quin. I risk soundly cheesy, but there is no guidebook for this kind of relationship, and you listening to his requests about what he wanted it to look like, which I think is one of the best things an the adult can do in this type of situation.
Hi Peggy,
