[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 621691, member: 17269"] Wow, Child, that whole thing gave me a lump in my throat...there was a beauty to that new relationship that is really wonderful to behold. You let him take some wobbly baby steps on his own. That is how I see it...he is learning to walk again, and, like a good an loving parent, you are giving him the space to do it. I am so happy for you, proud, impressed, and yes, a little sad because I'm feeling that you are a little sad too...but you are strong now! I hope I can channel some of that when I see my difficult child on Friday...I'm already slipping..I wanted to have lunch at a place I like to go and haven't been for a while...he first said yes then that he would call in late to work (DONT CALL IN LATE TO WORK!!!) and now we are having breakfast somewhere else, on a work day...that interferes with my ability to get started well, get the dogs washed, etc...so I may take a page from your book and tell him that won't work after all...because I am starting to feel annoyed, and I'm wondering why I am buying him breakfast at all...your conversation in the car seems more appropriate. But this one isn't about me! Its about you..the amazing way you are finding a new way to be connected to your son, detached and loving. [/QUOTE]
