[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 689364, member: 17461"] I know. And there we are, and we feel like we are performing. And the last thing we want to hear is how rotten our child is. But it is worse somehow that there is like, a Cone of Silence around the fact that we have a child and he isn't there. So, there we sit. In our Cone of Silence. Here is a story about the Cone of Silence: So, the Cone of Silence is a transparent tube that descends so Get Smart can communicate without being overheard. In this scene, Get Smart is attending a fancy dress Ball. There are ladies in beautiful gowns and men in tuxedos and everyone is drinking too much champagne. His shoe phone rings. Lowering the Cone of Silence, Get Smart makes his secret communication. Then, given that he is in the Cone of Silence, Get Smart looses as musically inspired a spate of intestinal gas as has ever been loosed, privately or in public. Smoothing his lapels, Get Smart leaves the Cone. But it seems the Cone of Silence has malfunctioned. And everything that happened inside it was not only broadcast to the room, but amplified, first. And Get Smart has no clue. :O) So, that is what I think about, whenever I have that Cone of Silence feeling. This is good thinking. It is really hard to turn their lives over to them and believe it. But it was only after I did reach that point that I was able to separate what was happening to them from what they were doing to me. Once I could see in that way, I realized that what I felt like was Rocky Balboa, in those movies where the beatings are so savage. And Rocky takes punch after punch. And I know that is terrible imagery, but it helped me reframe what was happening. Holding an intention of Radical Compassion for all of us ~ for myself, too ~ helped me, pasa. In the sense that it gave me a mindset to reach for. But the Rocky imagery helped most of all. I would post a link for you, but the imagery of Rocky taking those punches is awful. But you know what? That was exactly what it felt like, to go through this. I am sorry this is happening, pasa. Cedar [/QUOTE]
