[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 723242, member: 18958"] i do not know if things are looking up for him, for my son. or if they got so down that he had to look up. or if it is i who am changing and can be a bit more present to him. not because i hope he changes ((where i lose myself and have no control) but where i can come from a place of hope, of prayer--because that is who i believe i am and will be. just like you describe yourself and your journey. new leaf. this thread is ours. it has evolved into a meditation on the source of peace and how to hold hope. which is what you are practicing and modeling. about bargaining. the question of whether you could, would forfeit relationship with your two, if they could do better. m brought that up yesterday. he said: tell j. that if he were to do good for himself. work. be productive. aspire. love. in a sustained way, over time, i would withdraw from you. i would cede to him. if it would give him peace and restore his sense of well being. (something like that. i am translating. ) i said: that's crazy. i'm not going to bargain using you as a chip. i think we're still negotiating with g-d. like the old testament/torah. hoping if we sacrifice we can obtain favor and well-being. religion evolved...and so did we. to prayer. to gratitude. to commitment to family and community. we are each of us is doing this. modeling to each other like facets of a jewel, the light which we have within us and that which guides us. for each, slightly different but the same.
