[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 615509, member: 17461"] Echolette, before you came to us here, we had a thread going about what it feels like to be the parent of a difficult child who was, for the moment, doing well ~ or at least was not in the midst of a crisis. The imagery we came up with? JAWS Remember, when the Sheriff, the scientist, and the fisherman are putting along? The sun is out, the water is beautiful, and they think they are so well prepared and so absolutely in control that nothing can possibly go wrong. All at once, Jaws slices through the water, bumps into the boat, whatever. And the caption is: "We're going to need a bigger boat." It was just so funny to us, Echolette. That imagery seemed to describe everything we were feeling regarding our difficult children. Remember that time the scientist was diving on that wreck, poking around with a little arrogance, the way scientists and those who know everything already always do...and BOOM! Really spooky dead body. And the scientist screams underwater and shoots to the surface, his eyes big as tea cups. That is just what I feel like, going through this series of admissions about myself and my life. There are so many beautiful things all around me. But every time I think I have a handle on things and get a little self congratulatory? BOOM! Really spooky dead body. :O) Welcome aboard! Thank heaven we have one another . Remember what it was like, when we were alone with it? Cedar [/QUOTE]
