[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 626191, member: 17269"] I reread this whole thread from beginning to end...what a lot of wisdom and kindness contained within! It has been extraordinarily helpful to me. I find sometimes when I post a question like this that I later can't even quite recall the feeling of distress I had when I posted...once the responses and discussion occurs, I often feel so much better that the original, hurting, anxious me of the original post is....gone. I love it when something that clear and direct hits home! Yes, I see that, thank you for that. You are very very right. I think that that is all I can do as well. I wish him well. I wish me well. I wish all of you and your difficult child's well. The raising part is done. Some how because the finished product isn't what I was aiming at, I thought the job wasn't done, that I needed to keep raising until he was risen to my expectations. This thread helped me get that that is part of the problem. My ex mother in law was an artist...she said the hardest part is knowing when the piece is done, resisting the idea that it needs to be better. I don't like her much (couldn't resist that!!) but I like that thought...it seems to fit in here. Lot of good work done. Thank you again. Echo [/QUOTE]
