[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 686173, member: 18958"] The money was invested by loving parents to do the best they could for their child. The investment continues. It is all part of that, the relationship. The result is not arithmetic. It is love. All of it exists somewhere inside of him, acknowledged or not. Me too. My partner believes that I gave my son too much and demanded too little. I think this view is simplistic. I think what unifies our kids is their immaturity and their failure "to deliver" in the time and the manner that we expect or would wish for. We have the choice to keep looking at them to deliver or to change our expectations and let go of the belief that our wishes and dreams have any bearing on the matter at hand. It is the latter that I have learned (I backslide) in my year on this site. [/QUOTE]
