[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 707942, member: 18958"] Feeling. Are you worried that middle son is developing Schizophrenia? Have you as if stopped living because you are scared to death, and on some level you believe that by shutting down your own life you can save him by taking the hit yourself? I do not know how you are going to do this if you do not reach out for more support NOW. You are not alone. Today I was glued to the live feed of the Democratic National Committee vote. My candidate did not win. but he gave a beautiful speech when he accepted the nomination. He spoke something like this to the voting body: [I]There are people all over this nation who need you. Who are frightened. Who are in hiding. In the margins. Feeling helpless.[/I] I was so touched. The last time when I felt this way in a political moment was when at the convention Bernie Sander's brother paid tribute to their long-dead parents and he cried and so did Bernie. I am not going to guilt you because how could I? I spent 3 years in bed! I figured out that was 5 percent of my life. But the thing is, Feeling: the worst thing in the world may be happening to you but there are people who need you. You have gifts that cannot be lost. I know in your work you are tremendously valued. But you will retire soon. You have a life ahead of you of giving. Now. This is a bit of a guilt trip: this is not the time for us to be sacrificed at the alter of the personal. I know that there is nothing I can write, just as there is nothing you can do for either son, that will change the course of things if they are meant to be. Just know that I value you. Not more or less than this. If you have a chance look at Keith Ellison's speech today. You will be touched, too. Take care. I want you to please tomorrow go out and be among people. Is there a beach nearby? I think there is. A beach with a promenade? Get a good book. Forget the courses. Sit in a café. Read. Tell me what you like to read and I will look for some good books. I have nearly 3000 books on my kindle, most free. If I lived closer we could go to a café by the beach together. I will be there with you. For now, you go. (Or if you have a better plan, do that.) We can work on the next steps. Chinese Crested, Feeling. [/QUOTE]
