[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 625321, member: 17720"] Yes, exactly. I too took my mothering role very, very seriously. How could that not be reciprocated?! Must be MY fault! Yes, I felt a lot of the same things you felt. Good grief, Cedar, what a journey you've had! What a journey we've all had. The poem is "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In it the mariner kills an albatross, which was believed to bring the ship good luck. Afterward the ship suffers bad luck. The mariner is forced to wear the albatross around his neck as penance. God save thee, ancient Mariner From the fiends, that plague thee thus Why look'st thou so ? - With my cross-bow I shot the ALBATROSS. ... Ah. well a-day. what evil looks Had I from old and young Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck was hung. Oh man, that forever thing. I've been there. Odds are I'll be there again. For me, forever felt SO much easier than "We'll see where it goes." I SO craved certainty, just ONE THING I could count on, in my relationship with difficult child. SO glad I found this place. Thanks, Moms! [/QUOTE]
