[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663143, member: 18958"] Cedar, one more thing. I have to go out and you are probably out to dinner already. We did similar things as young women. You creating a perfect family. Me, striving for a profession. We were idiots. We were trying to make up for what was broken inside us by building fantasies. It never could have worked. If it had, you would have ended up a bitter and brittle woman, with the pain within unaddressed, unexpressed. I would have ended up all alone. Isolated. With nobody and nothing meaningful. I was already headed there before I adopted my son. There is no pain and suffering that I have endured or will ever endure that will be so great as to overcome the joy and gifts that my son has given, or that could touch my love for him. When you are low, you persist in scapegoating yourself for what happened to your kids. You would ask us this, whose voice is that Cedar? Yet you do not go after D H. Instead you believe he never deserved the pain he has endured. You will always seek to protect him from blame and from hurt. Whose voice is it, Cedar, that is so mean to you, who singles you out while sparing others? [/QUOTE]
