[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 662441, member: 17461"] This is true, Copa. How we see our children and that we can respond from that true vision of who we know them to be is a beginning. That is why we can say: You are better than to do what you are doing. Because we know it, [I]we know it[/I], to be true. And because we see that in them, they will have that belief for themselves. Just as surely as we are discovering the horrifying longevity of our abuser's voices and belief systems, we may and we should, give to our children truths that will name and strengthen them. We get to do that. We are their mothers. I am happy for you, Copa. You are seeing through your own eyes now. Believing in our children is never wrong. If we believe in them, if we believe in the goodness in them that we know is in there, they are made stronger because of it, and we are made stronger because of it. I forgot that, Copa. I am going to change my thinking, too. Cedar [/QUOTE]
