[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 712927, member: 18958"] This sounds like me with my son! I think there are reasons that our children trigger us. I am trying to see my son as my "teacher" about myself. My responses, my pain, my fear and anxiety about him, are all looked at another way, about me. I do not think it is a questioning of coping. Coping to me feels like enduring. If I endure my son I am not being the mother I want to be, or the person I need to be. I want to thrive, not endure. I want to be close to him, not cope. I believe if we look at ourselves and our lives we will learn some of what we need to learn about ourselves. Our children are our guides. What did you hope for with your baby girl? What need did you yearn to have filled as a parent? As a person? My son was my everything. He answered every yearning, fulfilled every dream. Until he grew up and had other ideas. I was left holding the bag. Having to carry and make sense of my own stuff. Now I trying to learn to have a more appropriate relationship with him. This is on me; not on him. I hope you keep posting. I have learned from you. Take care. [/QUOTE]
