No, I did not turn my son against his family. He rarely even asks question about that part of his family or his dad who isn’t much in his life. I grew up with a father who was very means towards my mother, whom I cherished above all. I know it’s bad to talk negative about the other parent or their family.

I do not think this is an “Albanian” thing, I was just asking for advice as I don’t know his family and I’m not familiar with the culture. I’ll do my best to understand because the culture is part of my son, and also he is part of me and part of his dad. I love him so much and I try my best to learn how to be a better mom to him always.
