[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 702730, member: 18958"] Thank you everybody for your wisdom and for your support. Somebody asked about M, who he was, and how I felt about being overruled by him. (I am headed out of the house and do not have time to search back, who, for their direct quotes. Sorry.) M is the man I have lived with for almost 8 years. While he met my son when he was 18 or 19, he has become like a father to him, and is considered such by my son, who I adopted as a single Mother, when he was not yet 2 years old. You see, M's voice, represents one part of myself. How could I not fear my son hitting bottom, more than he has? How could I not want to fight for that part of my son to strengthen that will have hope and fight and motivation? How could I not want to keep my son close to feel the deepest love for him, which is the greatest love of my life? Except I grow weary. It is my heart that breaks, daily, or at least weekly. M has his own children, lots of them, who are almost all of them whole and successful--who largely reject him, partly because he left the family due to marital problems and partly for M's often difficult and harsh personality. So our lives together are a second and third and fourth chance for each of us. In a sense our relationships, our inter-relationships are defined by hope. So how can I veto and not support the very spirit that has defined our lives together? That is how I feel about being overruled by M. He speaks to my best and strongest self. Hope and love. [/QUOTE]
