[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 677587, member: 18958"] I keep reading through everybody's responses and each time I find new meaning. This is exactly what happens. It is just like with my sister. I know she is doing something wrong, that I have been hurt. But there is a masquerade going on. And I pretend that I do not know or understand that there is a deception. See, I collude. There is the wanting to be a good person, to do the right thing. [I]Especially for your child[/I], but for your people, too. How does a good person, a good parent turn away their child? In the cold night. Do they wait to that cold night, to push themselves in? But the other part of the sentence is your child has ignored your wishes. He is an intruder as surely as if he had beaten down the door. Because I had said NO. You cannot come here. Of course parents are supposed to be the place of last resort. Is that their strategy, to push you to the place against the wall where you have to betray yourself or them, and you choose to betray yourself? Or do they remain willfully and blissfully ignorant of the costs to others, lest it cramp their style? COPA [/QUOTE]
