[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 689046, member: 17461"] I wish I could be this way, too. Did you feel the parents were enabling, pasa? Did the family seem happy together? Geez pasa, not to give you the third degree, but detaching has been so hard for me. Did the children in that family go on to do well? That thinking has a nightmare resonance for me. That maybe we could all have lived together and come through this, somehow. But then I think about Jabber's son coming at him to get the phone because he is angry Jabber won't drive him somewhere ~ or let him take the car, which is what he probably really wanted, and believed he should have. The thing is, the kids always want to bring homeless friends, too. We would have to draw some line, some where. I think we did the right things. But in my secret heart, I wish I'd been those parents. I know I am not supposed to say that. Cedar [/QUOTE]
