[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 673706, member: 17461"] Control is what moms do, Copa. We control ourselves, we control our children right down to toilet training and tooth development and braces and manners. They fight for their freedom, they figure it out and step into the adult world. But in all the world, most moms are still mom, whatever stage their children are in. They are not objectified or hated or ignored or insulted. We are. The addiction; the drug use they think has not affected them. That is the problem, here. I think this is true. With the loss of our Sleeping Beauty kisses, we turn on ourselves. We feel abandoned when in truth, our people we love are in trouble. That seems to be the line we are smudging, here. Our abandonment issues and their need for moms who have no abandonment issues. Maybe this is true. I think it is true. It could be that we came alive, just as Sleeping Beauty did too, with those kisses from our children. Or, in caring for them, in loving them first and unreservedly, like The Little Prince loved his rose, who had thorns and lived the life of a flower. But our roses, our Princes and Princesses, are being hurt; are in danger. That's the difference. And if we erect the fence to keep them safe from the sheep, they leave the safe place or bring bad things into it, endangering us, too. But we have fallen in love with them, and with who we were with them, just as The Little Prince did, with his Rose. Cedar [/QUOTE]
