[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 762962, member: 18958"] I believe that we live our lives in order to repair the world. I believe that each person has a unique purpose. I do not believe that we are born to suffer. But of course, we all do. Some of us, way more than others. All I know is that parents are supposed to love and care for their children. I know, of course, that this is not always the case. I do believe that we can overcome the lack of love and care from our parents, come to care for ourselves and find others who care for us. My son has blamed me for adopting him. Not that he does not love me, but he did not love himself. But I do believe he felt loved by me. I did not receive much love or care from my own parents. Yes. I did adopt my son, in part to love him and to receive love. I believe that suffering can motivate us to struggle, and through our individual struggles, we can achieve great things for others and for ourselves, creating great meaning and purpose in our lives and for others. I believe your life has a purpose in this same way. You feel bitterness and sadness now but it will not always be so. I know that over the years I have been on this forum, my son feels better about himself, and no longer feels despair. I don't either. This forum serves a great purpose which is to help us learn to be better parents to our children and better people. I am sorry I spoke harshly to you. There is great pain here and this makes me sad that there would be more, unecessarily. Why don't you start your own thread? [/QUOTE]
