[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 656726, member: 17461"] Locus of control. Good for you, Copa. This is huge. When in truth, it is your strength and your joy that will save him. And, if he chooses not to be saved, then those good, strong things that you taught him will be how he knows to navigate whatever it is that is coming for him next. You are doing so well, Copa. So fast. You must have been ready, so ready, for this. Just a little affirmation. That was all you needed. Your son is of the same bloodline. He is strong enough to meet and explore and savor and create his own life. What a joy our children have been. I have never been part of something so [I]real[/I]. Mine are interesting people. I am thinking yours is an interesting person, too. I mean, actually interesting in a fascinating way. We just need to be strong enough to be who we are. They are overwhelming. They suffer, they experience intense joy; they love and they hate so passionately. They throw away what they have with both hands [I]and they believe that whatever they do, we will want to know.[/I] Somehow, they seem fascinated with us, too. We were good moms, Copa. That is the measure of it. It never once occurs to our kids that we don't want to know. And here is the other side of that coin: We always do want to know. But first? We have to stiffen our spines. None of this is easy. But we are doing so well, Copa. Me, too. Cedar [/QUOTE]
