Six Stage Relationship Model: My Dad and I

My mother from the beginning of my dad and stepmom 's relationship didn’t like my stepmom that much. She could see how manipulative my stepmom was towards my dad, brother and I. I lived with my mom at this time and my brother lived with my dad and stepmom. My mom was always skeptical about not raising her other child herself but I didn’t see any concern for it, I was too young to understand. My mom knew she couldn’t bash her in front of me because it would scare me even more than I already was. She had to be there for me because I didn’t have anyone else to talk to.

Maternal Stability in Paul's Case by Willa Cather Paul suffered setbacks and dilemmas because he never knew his mother as she died around the time of his birth. Therefore he is lacking the maternal guidance of emotional stability that every child needs to grow mentally. Paul is withdrawn from society, and he resorts to the arts and music to feel comfortable and free from his disassociation and sense of loneliness. One should not be confused and believe that his father was not loving or caring of Paul because his father did what he could to support Paul and to do all he could to get Paul out of problem situations. He just was not very keen on Paul's needs, especially his manners or clothing.

I had projected my insecurities on other people especially when my mother had started to date other men as I was afraid of any man my mother started dating, I mistrusted men, and pushed people away because I was afraid they would leave me. My mother had become the only person that I would ever trust and be comfortable being attached to in life.

Through losing his mother he learned to not take for granted the people in his life. He also learned from his parents that he did not want to raise his children like they did.

My parents fight and argue but they have never talked about splitting up or getting divorced.

He told me that it is not that he does not find women attractive, he thinks that they are very gorgeous, he just does not find them sexually attractive. He just could not see himself ever having sex with a female and for a long time he had trouble accepting this fact about himself. He claimed that he grew up with a father and mother in his household, and he was afraid to inform them of his choice he feared that he would not be accepted and only told a few close friends and cousins. He claimed that it took a lot of courage and he told his mother first before his father. His mom accepted the news rather lightly and claimed that she could always tell that he was homosexual.

His mother also found out that his grades in school were low and that he has been absent a lot of times. Mathew’s mom was trying to talk to him, but at that time he didn’t listen to her; he was just ignoring her and being disrespectful to her. One day Mathew decided to leave the house to stay at his friend’s. He didn’t tell anyone where he was going; he kept things to himself. His mom thought he was just going to leave one day since they both had a fight.
