[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 677286, member: 18958"] That was how it was for me. My son had problems but not with me, not with our relationship, until he was about 16 or so. I spent almost a decade fighting him. Fighting the sense of helplessness and loss in myself. Add to the constellation of emotions that come up: Anger. Betrayal. Right or wrong I felt betrayed. My dreams were betrayed. Of course I had no right to impose on him my own dreams. Not specific dreams. But my own need that he be happy, thrive. So that I would. I know that. It does not make it easier. The hardest task I am faced with is what to do for "hope?"? I want to have hope. I want to see him doing better. For who? For me? COPA [/QUOTE]
