 My son is not coming home today. At this point, I don't even know if I want him to ever come home. A lot of times, women's rebuttal is who hurts you. Some of men's experiences with black women originate from their experiences with their mothers. I really hate his dad and it makes it so hard for me to like and care for him the way a mother should. This man has been emasculated ever since he came out of the womb. But how do you look your own kid in their face knowing that it's impossible for you to fully love them the way a mother should because you hate their dad? Everything around him is telling him either he's not a man or he's an insignificant or impotent man. It's like day three of my son being home and I'm ready for him to leave. I find myself always having to punish my son for being ungrateful and entitled. I think the biggest thing that our women fail to do for our black boys is to make them feel necessary. I think this conversation is going to make me more empathetic towards the man.
