[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 408343, member: 9175"] I am amazed reading this threaad, and threads like it. The support here is heartwarming and, perhaps even more important, the warrior parents here really get it. In my in real life, there is not one child or young adult whose behavior is anything even remotely like my daughters. My family is extremely supportive, yet we will sit around a table at a gathering and listen to my niece bemoan the fact that her daughter has chosen not to go to prom, and another who is extremely stressed (and rightly, I DO get it) that her son did not make the cut auditioning for a renknown college music conservatory (they take 11 out of the over 500 who auditon)..... It's all relative, I know. And I love these people dearly. Then i come here and read something like this post and I think: This easily could have been Dashlet. By the Grace of God, she's not tried this ...yet. And I think of those dear people in real life who might read this and be in complete disbelief. This could NEVERh happen in there world. And then all you wonderful people come in, share your own stories, offer the kind of perspective that only a veteran warrior could possibly hold. And nobody, not one person, is surprised or shocked. Sad, yes. Sympathetic, certainly. Supportive ... to the max. And I don't know about the rest of you, but I am haunted by my mental picture of Bean's daugher a walking off into the night. I can almost feel the heartbreak of sheltering your family and knowing you can do nothing but watch as a part of your heart walks away with her. Sometimes when I come here to read or post I feel that I've entered a paralell universe where battles might be raging, but everyone understands. Dash [/QUOTE]
