[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 688344, member: 19951"] Exactly. I know my son will never be a "whole, responsible thinking" person in part due to his mental handicap, but also because I know its out of my control. He is 35 and will always struggle with life and society. I have accepted the reality of his life and no longer long for a Mother's dream for their child. I gave him to the Lord at 20 when he was on the streets. The Lord has a hand over him. I reject his "lies" and "emotional manipulation with me- by refusing to get involved in the drama he creates for himself. I listen, but draw a line for my own sanity and emotional health. I can only say for me, it has been so freeing to let him go and whatever will be will be attitude with son. I started living again and have found joy and peace. I realized it's ok to walk away in steps and stages. I pray you find peace and Joy. [/QUOTE]
