[QUOTE="Malika, post: 567432, member: 11227"] Well, yes, Italy and Holland... Holland is very flat (but nice windmills) :) I think really I'm talking about a certain sort of letting go... about beginning to glimpse that actually I can't control J or make him into something he is never going to be. Of course I'm going to keep on insisting on the please and thank you and making sure that he follows a minimum of socially aware behaviour (some of which he does for himself anyway... in a sense I see him as a child quite handicapped by whatever is going on in his brain, his outbursts and selfishness are not really who "he" is - he woke me up this morning, for example, by bringing me my dressing gown, saying he thought I might be cold...) but really I can't stop a lot of how he manifests in the world. I can only try to put good influences in his way and hope they stick to some extent. I have to do my bit, obviously, but in a sense I have to let go of the outcome. Which is how things always are really. [/QUOTE]
