[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 618211, member: 17461"] Determined intent, just like when we do the Heimlich Maneuver. That's the only way to reclaim ourselves. We have to mean it. Relearn cherishing, relearn humor, relearn self acceptance. I don't know how to do that. I was Brownie and then, Girl Scout leader. I was Cub Scout Den Mother. I was Great Books teacher. So...I came to love all the kids' friends too, as my kids grew up and until they went down their paths of choice. So, I know that it hurts in a special, puzzling way to see a friend's child do well when ours are not. One of my former Brownies is a pulmonologist, today. One of difficult child daughter's former friends is a cardiologist. Other friends of either of my children have gone on to become attorneys, psychiatrists, firemen, teachers, policemen. There are children I would have sworn would turn bad who are fully functioning members of society, today. I cannot imagine what life would look and feel like, if my children were okay. Cedar [/QUOTE]
