Dss just said I love you

[stella69x]

I have been with dp for a year. He has weekends with dss and for past 6 months + overnights at my home. Dp sometimes works fri & sat Eve's so I put dss to bed on those occasions.

Tonight when putting dss to bed I say might night love you dss, to which he replies 'love you too'

Such a good feeling for me as its the first time he has said it. Not sure when I first started saying it to him, but so nice to hear it back. (He is 6 nearly 7 for context).

Ohhhh how lovely, you are doing a fabulous job.

Thank you xxx

That's fantastic, he must feel safe and secure in your company. :)

Is all so more poignant as have had 'difficulties' with dd(11) and she now lives with her dad. Been questioning my parenting but I can't be all that bad after all?
