[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 115535, member: 1545"] Susan~ It's not that we are unsympathetic with your emotions. We are. But, we have the wisdom of hindsight and the objectivity of being removed some. SO - what we are encouraging you to do - and what husband is encouraging you to do - is allow your son to figure this out for himself. What I most often hear from your posts are strong emotions. [b]We can't be ruled by our emotions.[/b] They are way too fickle and unpredictable. In these difficult circumstances, [b]you need to allow your intellect and brain to rule your decisions.[/b] What does your intellect and common sense tell you? It is okay to recognize emotions - sadness, despair, fear, etc. In fact it is good to recognize emotions and to name them. [b]It is NOT OKAY to make decisions based on those emotions.[/b] Hugs.
