I can see how that word may not seem to fit well with what actually happened. Still, what seems to have happened was that they both wanted you to fulfill THEIR needs,sometimes in quite subtle ways, even when you were very young. They didn't put your future life, happiness and fulfillment ahead of their own needs, which I think good parents try to do as much as possible. When parents do that (as you do with your own son), he feels protected and loved, and also feels that his future life is HIS. It's such a huge difference.
