[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 657634, member: 17461"] It is the addiction or the illness, Copa. Just as Albatross posted for us, we live in the rabbit hole now. Nothing is going to make rational sense. Nothing. They don't want to hurt us, Copa. When the addiction is beat and our children come back to us, if they ever do, their remorse at what they've done to us can eat them alive, hollow them out, and leave them prone to readdicting. So, we have to be ready, we have to have exquisite timing and sensitivity, to tell the difference between our children, addicted, and our children, coming back. It's a balancing act. On a razor's edge. But that's okay. We are doing what is there for us to do. We are flexible, not rigid. We are seeing though our mother hearts, and through the eyes of our allies, here on the site. So, we are prepared, or are gathering our tools, or are somewhere in that process that gets to be comfortably balanced on a razor's edge. We do that. We are amazing. You are, too. Just look at you, not even flinching, not even hiding away from it. Good, good work, Copa. Courage and heart and unflinching bravery. Sucks to go through it, though. I'm sorry he treated you that way, Copa. I think we have to hear them, but we need to learn to listen through our wise and wary mom perceptions. Then you can hear it: That was not my son. That was his addiction. I see you. [I]I see you back. Let go of my son.[/I] Cedar [/QUOTE]
