[QUOTE="Malika, post: 493004, member: 11227"] Well... the thing is, Steely, one has to be oneself with one's children. You were being authentic and Matt would have responded to that. Trying to be someone else or following someone else's vision or way of being may work for a short time but will inevitably break down and fizzle out. You will obviously never know whether if you had been different in some way, he would have turned out differently... one is tempted to presume not. Honestly, I really like the raking leaves and doing jobs. This could work for J. Trying to take something away from him will just lead to more horror than is good for either of us. One has to know when to bend and flow, and when to stand firm... that may not exactly be work, but it is a question of discrimination. [/QUOTE]
