oops, hit "post". Hi again Carri. The "what we miss" thread. There's so much, isn't there?
This is so how many of us feel...expectations-the root of all pain-we get it. I fight hard here on this site, in my thoughts and in the daily grind just to not waste my life as he is wasting his. That child/parent knot gets so much tighter when they are not functioning. Ouch. My son doesn't want everyday pleasures as much as he wants his current lifestyle. His choice, but so hard for me to watch. My choice is to push those thoughts away after acknowledging them and go on...so there aren't TWO wasted lives.
Thanks, Walrus. Yes, most of all I miss his "fun".
