[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 752791, member: 23706"] Giving up to me is neither positive or negative. Why? In truth, we can not give up or not give up on somebody else. The only person with that power is the person himself/herself. Giving up is a sort of verb, an action word. We can not give up or quit for somebody else. We can't run for someone else or work for somebody else. Only the somebody else can do these things. In our imaginations we can tell ourselves that it makes a difference to our child if we mentally give up on them or not, but it doesn't make any difference. Only they can fight for themselves or give up. They can make a difference in their lives. We can't, no matter what our emotions are. I expect Kay to find more ways to sustain as she gets older. I don't know if they will be functional ways or society approved ways. My hope is now down to "it would be nice if." And my expectations are not definable. I don't speculate the way I once did.
