[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 623630, member: 17461"] I believe that too, COM. That the space you made around him helped him sort things out on his own, and that the way you love him, open and strong, showed him you were not afraid for him. You had to learn to put your trust in him to do the right thing, instead of him turning to you to see what direction that right thing was in. Those are huge changes in the pattern. It is harder to make that space where they can follow their own paths than it is to create one for them. Letting them go, letting them fall and come back on their own is a whole different way of loving them. I am so happy for you both. It may not be all smooth sailing from here. But no one can ever take what he has already accomplished away from him. That is his, now, that knowledge. I wish it were not so hard for the parents...but then, we are learning, too. Good job, COM. Wishing both of you continued respect for one another, whatever comes for your son next. You have done beautifully so far, COM. I know what that cost you. Special prayer going up for you both.
