[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 677747, member: 17461"] Yes. That is our position. You are doing well, Copa. I am sorry for the hurt of it. I love it too when I am near one of my people. Just the feel of them, the scent of them; just to look into their eyes. It's like in the cartoons, when the music begins to play and the birds sing. It's so goofy, but it is also very real. Brief, utter joy. I believe they feel the same way...but then the situation intrudes. The manipulations begin, the shading of what they believe is true or matters turns in to what they want. For us, the need to decide. It is very hard. *** It is the situation that is bad. I am glad you were able to be near to your son, Copa. It helps me to remember I have the power I have in the situation. I have my words. I want for the child turned man (or woman) what I want: Independence and self respect. My child is neither a beggar nor a victim. I will watch myself closely so I do not enable. I will do what I have to do to help him do the right thing. You are doing well, Copa. It is the situation that is hard. Cedar [/QUOTE]
