[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 744684, member: 18958"] Yes. I would add one thing or two. I think the bond between a mother and child is biological, whether or not the child is bio or not. (Oh how much harder it is to see let alone to act upon these red flags, than in the political, the cultural, even the romantic realms). But I believe there is an imperative for even a mother, to individuate; to not lose herself, her voice, her being. When our unique story which is us comes to be shadowed by forces that subsume, overpower, endanger, silence, consume, negate, criticize.... I am seeing in my own life it is time to stop. In my tracks. And to dedicate myself to see where I am. And to decide where I go. Even if it means being more alone. For me the limiting factor may be guilt. Or responsibility. Or fear. Of abandonment? I am unsure. But the thing is, if I abandon myself where am I? The question is where is the pressure to stay, to do, to deny or minimize (the problems, the self-betrayals or self-negations) coming from? From others or inside oneself? [/QUOTE]
