[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 621245, member: 17461"] I don't want to do that, Recovering. I like it that I am standing up. I like it that I am seeing without compassion, without understanding, without ~ really, without caring. I see the bare bones beneath what difficult child son is saying without my usual soft focus, my usual "oh he's had a bad day, I know he loves me just the same way I love him, I will understand for him until he can see for himself." I even had a therapist tell me once that when the kids talk like this, it is because they feel safe enough with us to talk like this. So, now I see that was (see me spitting a string of swear words out here and, being that we are on a cattle drive, explosively expectorating a stream of tobacco juice a truly amazing distance AND, IN A REMARKABLE FIT OF REBELLION FOR CEDAR, MISSING THE SPITTOON [U]ON PURPOSE[/U]) given bad advice, to say the least. I still need to see where I really am, Recovering. I have been so wrapped in the dream, so sure love would win, so positive the white would out the dark. It is like the piece you sent about cutting the eyes open. Now that they are open, I elect to see. That's why I am being Clint Eastwood, today. "To heck with that whip, Ma'am! Get me my shotgun!" He said that once, right? :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
