[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 621715, member: 17461"] This is beautiful, Echo. I am wondering about these kinds of things, lately. There is strength in hope...but the line between hope, between the belief that strengthens and the tumble into denial that destroys, is such a fine one. I am still so surprised that I never minded how my son treated me. I never took him seriously, never granted him the respect of replying honestly to his increasingly abusive behaviors, denigrating both him and myself. I am shocked to know this. As you have noted about the death in Recovering's story, and about the pain of being unheard in your own...what we need, what will heal and strengthen us is not hope, but a living witness. Hope, we can figure out how to do for ourselves. I read something once that went something like this: "Which of us is so unimportant that what passes between us has no meaning?" Cedar [/QUOTE]
