[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 656960, member: 18958"] Understanding that I was filtering the events of the lives of my child throughand letting that go allows the beginnings of true respect even awe. It is a feedback loop, isn't it? Seeing them as heroes we come to feel ourselves as mothers of heroes...instead of constantly fighting them, beating down their valiant attempts to live on their own terms. And that frees us, not just to feel better, less sad and tired, but to hope and want again, for ourselves. How it got so complicated, even twisted, hardly matters. Just gratitude for now. [/QUOTE]
