[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 758366, member: 18958"] Dear RN I can't fully nail what I felt reading your post. There just doesn't seem to be words that capture the combination of wisdom gained, faith, loyalty, hope, and love all of them born of horror. I am just so very pleased for your family that your son has come out the other end of this. And it just keeps getting better and better. If you were to describe what to you is this "new way of parenting" what would you say? I am remembering here how frightened you were when your son was leaving the program to come home. I was amazed and surprised, because I was here on the forum when he was in Florida and you had shut down. The whole thing had become unbearable to you and you seemed to have created a wide, wide moat. And yet you accepted him back with hope and courage and commitment. Your boundaries softened. It was as if you too had been transformed. I don't want to assume anything about what you mean. If you have a few minutes I would so much like to hear what your thoughts are about how you as parents changed, or changed your parenting, through all of this. [/QUOTE]
