[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 642283, member: 18284"] RE --- I can tell you're on a genuine quest and I love it! I think you're walking the walk (or posting the post, should I say? LOL!). You have been on it for a long time, indeed. Perhaps we are similar in some fashion. I had no clue difficult child would be part of my life (who does?), but my entire life has been a quest for greater understanding (the flip side of that is the the more I understand, the less I realize I understand about some things). But I grow more comfortable with not know -- more trusting of God, The Universe, The Big Picture (whatever one wants to call it). RE -- Thank you so much! I feel very much the same as you! Nothing more exciting than a new idea to explore, eh? And there's just so much we cannot comprehend until we've lived it. Fact. I find your heart and mind shining through your posts quite brightly. Cedar --- Well, thank you very much! Oh, Cedar, we may be more similar than you realize, girl! For me, it was The Brady Bunch. As I vacillated on which Brady I'd rather date (hey, I was 12, so Peter and Greg both looked pretty good to me!), I also realized how I envied their family. So many siblings (I had only 1 brother, they had 6 altogether), such great parents (always participated in the school play and had time to listen), and even had a maid (who was fun, to boot!). While I realized I couldn't be a kid from The Brady Bunch, I sorta had inklings that maybe I could be like the parents and raise my kids that way. Hmmm........... Welllllllllllllll........ let's just say that didn't pan out, either (nor did the maid portion of the program, mind you! LOL!). But somewhere along the way, I realized my parenting experience might more resemble the Lifetime Movie Of The Week than The Brady Bunch. Crazy drama. Sometimes I handled it well, sometimes not. C'est la vie. Oh, oh, and I also was like you in that there was always an older, wiser woman with sage wisdom at every turn. Only for me, that wasn't on a soap, but it was on Star Trek Next Generation --- Guinan the bartender (played by Whoopi Goldberg). I still can't look at Whoopi without wishing I had all of her sage wisdom as Guinan. :D [/QUOTE]
