[QUOTE="Lil, post: 724410, member: 17309"] I really think Kalahou basically restated something Copa said about herself just a few posts ago... It took me a long time to realize that when I would say, [I]"I only want my son to be happy."[/I] - I was lying. I was lying to myself and to everyone else. What I [I]really[/I] wanted was for my son to be happy[I] living the way I wanted him to live; [/I]living a typical, "normal" life. I wanted him working, paying bills, wearing clean clothes and brushing his teeth and cutting his hair...or at least brushing it. He didn't have to be a doctor or a lawyer or an accountant. But I wanted him to be socially acceptable. I wanted to be, if not proud of him, at least not embarrassed by him. It wasn't until I managed to, more or less, let go of those feelings that I found any semblance of peace. It's not easy. It's even harder when they are near. [/QUOTE]
