[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 621903, member: 17269"] I love this. I find the bright spot and babble on about a lot of things...I'm doing it right now with SO...but seeing it and knowing it I can shut it down faster, see it as false...yes, I"m sure it was confusing to the kids growing up...they must have thought I was dim witted sometimes! And then later confusing to their sense of self. that is always sad for me. My son has missed a lot..he is missing in pictures of so many family events, even from when they were all in high school and middle school. Just today I told him about an upcoming trip that every one but he will be on..all three of his siblings including his twin , SO, his daughter and sister...a big memory making trip. When difficult child was living with me briefly in the fall after a stint in jail I thought...gosh, maybe I should be planning to include him...but then he packed his bags at 10 pm one night and left, and then he was in jail, and then he was avoiding me and I was detaching from him...and here we are. Another family event lost to him, lost to me. He seemed a little chastened, a little sorry, especially when he heard his twin would be there...but I think he understood. I did tell him about the decision process in the fall...it is just sad. MWM, he didn't ask for anything ! :) Echo [/QUOTE]
