[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 708537, member: 18958"] I loved Apple's post. And I loved a dad's post. M told me last night: [I]I fear that what you want from J he does not want.[/I] I think there is a middle ground and apple and a dad point me to it. Let me see if I understand: I have the choice to focus on and improve my own outlook and actions: Support; loving patience; gratitude for constructive and productive engagement with life by my son, independent of what form it takes; valuing kindness and heart. Realizing it could be way worse and practicing gratitude when it is not. Trying not to impose my values (and needs and vulnerabilities) on to him. My son has improved so much. He is trying. It may not look like I would want, but he is so much happier than before and wants a relationship with me. If I chill, we even get along. What is this about Apple? [/QUOTE]
