[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 753251, member: 18958"] I have just a minute right now but I wanted to say how valuable I find this thread. I was talking just now to M and he said something that RN points us to. Which is more or less, this: [I]We create our relationships by our intentions and our commitments with regards to those we love.[/I] Our hope is one way that we can support the channel through which our beloveds, can change themselves. Yes. We can't change them. Yes. We should not tolerate their abuse of us. But I would want to be a mother who permits my son to change in relation to me, near me, and through my ability and willingness to imagine him becoming what he needs to become. Conversely by our doubt and our fears, we can undermine those we love too. And in this way we block the best of ourselves. [/QUOTE]
