[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 655584, member: 17461"] It's okay if he doesn't understand, Confused. He is responding from the belief system of his generation. Forgive him, bless yourself, thank your lucky stars we all know better how to help our kids in these times, and continue creating your future. You have so many things to deal with. I think you are handling it well. Okay ~ you are balancing many difficult situations well. It must feel overwhelming sometimes, but you are hanging in there. That is a thing to be very proud of. You are stronger than you knew. Who would have thought, when you were a little girl, that you would be able take on and balance so many things so well? It is easiest for others to blame and call the problem done. For us, for the moms, it is a day to day struggle to know how to respond, to keep us all together, to somehow love ourselves enough to get us all through it. I think you are doing a hard thing really well. Turns out we are all only human, after all. That's okay. Real is better. Perfectionism is highly over-rated. (That is a joke.) :O) True, though. I have been perfect a couple of times. I was too busy keeping it perfect to remember to keep it real. That is a very sad thing. I wish I'd been here, right here in the daily of it, more often in my life. It is hard to be happy with ourselves when we feel like we need to be perfect before we can take time to be happy. I learned that from my daughter. Oy vey. Check out the problem on YouTube. Someone will have experienced the same issues with their dogs and will have posted about it. YouTube is amazing. We aren't meant to go through everything alone. How can we know how to do this when we have never done it before? Together with people we can trust, we can begin to see how to get where we think we want to go. Then, where we want to go next changes, because as we change, where we want to go changes, too. That is why they say we should relax and enjoy the journey. Personally, my own journey sucked so much, so often, that enjoying it was the last thing on my mind. But you know? Looking back on it now, we certainly did all get to be very real. I am so happy to be here, just checking it all out. Those darn stars are so pretty, and the night breezes, just kind of blowing in from who knows where and right onto me. :hugs: So glad to know you are feeling stronger, and are like, leaping into the fray. That seems to be what life is. Little problem here, little joy there. And then, a pipe breaks or something. That's how it works at my house, anyway. Very good to hear from you. I have been wondering how you are. Cedar [/QUOTE]
