[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 642705, member: 17461"] This is especially hard for me. As we have posted about our childhoods on another thread, I realize one of the keys to the intense conflict I feel around the issue of detachment is that I do not want to think or behave toward my children as my mother has. Maybe working through those feelings will ease the pain of that conflict. I like the way you see both yourself and your child as humans, as journeyers facing and succumbing to or overcoming individual and ongoing challenge. This is an important piece. We are only the mothers, with a mother's responsibility [I]and wisdom[/I] while our children are too young to choose for and protect and defend themselves. We do have our own journeys to make, our own challenges to meet. Cedar [/QUOTE]
