[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 680077, member: 18958"] i kept up my friendship with colleen until after i had adopted my son. i had to bring somethinng to her house, a 45 min drive over a long bridge two counties away. when we arrived she was prearing for a pool party. she was curt and imperious. a friend at that time for more than 30 years, she treated us like we should havee come to the servant entrance. she had devoted herself.to climbing social classes, as had my mother and sister. but still by any measure had i cared to do so, I could have bested her. but I was still for many years to feel myself to be that child who was seeking haven. when colleen turned away from her pool party my 3 year old is when I said no more the first time. we either run frim ourselves as we have been as children by acting out all manner of cimpensations or we embrace that child and wrap ourselves around her. All colleen ever wanted to see of me was the lonely child I had been. It was to be many more years until I saw that neither the lonely child -or imperious suburbanite with the pool who felt herself enhanced by rejecting were any longer constructs that I had to live with. I had become something and someone who ould choose and I did. [/QUOTE]
