[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 621352, member: 17542"] Oh Cedar, when I read your post I thought this: Mean people think mean things. They do mean things. That does not mean they are right. But of course you know that. I suspect it just hurts because he is your son and he is thinking mean things (no matter how wrong and how rattled and how sick he is) about his mother, who loves him so much. Mothers and sons. What a dynamic. You are changing so much. Do you feel isolated and weird around the same people sometimes? I do. Sometimes I feel like a stranger in a strange land. I don't speak the same language other people do anymore. But inside, I feel more sure than I ever have. By sure I mean firm and solid. Settled. Together. I am contented most of the time now. I am so much clearer in my mind. I don't have as much angst about anything. I am keeping my life simpler. I have been too nice too. I have been nice to a complete fault. It's something good than when it goes too far, turns into something bad. Like eating the whole cake instead of a piece of cake. I think I was just a people pleaser, if you want to really get down to it. Not so much nice, but nice all packaged up to get you to like me. I still believe for the best, Cedar. Maybe I will shed that, in time. I don't want to be hard-hearted. This I know. But I want to be more measured in my responses. To us, today! The sun is shining and I am grateful for that. [/QUOTE]
