[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 743773, member: 18958"] Hi tl. I will respond in a bit. I am on cell and it's hard. But I do have lots of thoughts on this. As you know my son is adopted too. He had a significant history already before I first met him when he was 22 months. The piece of this I would like to focus on is not necessarily the abandonment part in them but the rescue part of it, in me. I really think part of my issue with my son is that I had this serious heroes journey going on in my life, that covered over some serious and painful feelings on my part of abandonment, trauma and helplessness. So what came up for me when my son suffered was my own repressed pain. And I was not a happy camper. So this is what I want to talk about. To what extent is the important and powerful abandonment story something that I could locate in me? You see. As long as I do not acknowledge it in me, I will act it out in terms of him. I will be back later tl. Until then [/QUOTE]
