[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 686614, member: 18958"] Tanya, my son is being sweeter and kinder to us. He is trying harder to cooperate, even at working hard alongside M. [I]He is still not either happy or content[/I]. He is only settled because we are helping him. He still isolates. All of this is very, very hard [I]on me[/I]. But today he did say: "I am happy when I am working hard with M. Just like with H"(his friend, for whom he worked.) I was so happy to hear this word: Happy. And he did say he would consider enrolling in a gym or martial arts place when I suggested it. (Bad COPA. When will you learn?) The sun rose and set on martial arts and working out up until 10 years ago. (You see, I want him to be happy so I can be happy.) I think wishing for another person is a heart-breaking endeavor. We have not one bit of control. I am very hard-headed. I[I] WANT[/I] him to be happy. Look at how silly that seems writing it down. Reading what your son told you about himself and his life, makes me very, very hopeful, for both of you. Happy will come later. For me, I am finding my first real happy in a lifetime around the time I sign up for social security. I am grateful. [/QUOTE]
