[QUOTE="DDD, post: 448696, member: 35"] He may not live a "happy life" but he is living the life he has consciously chosen. As an "unusual" person he has found a life partner much like himself which if often not easy to do. They have evidently found a church community that is strongly structured and helps define their rigidity. He has achieved financial success and apparently just "doesn't feel the need" to expand his family boundaries. Those are his choices. It is not easy for those who are "disordered" or borderline "disordered" to find what they need or believe they need. My heart is with MWM and her family. I've never traveled that road but I have been rejected by my favorite son (although not totally) and it has taken me years to learn to live with it. One or two calls or visits a year although he lives in the same State? Not one conversation that explains or apologizes for the divide. Not knowing is painful. But he is livng his life in good health with children who are doing well. I am not good at anger. I am fairly good at accepting the things I can not change. MWM now knows in her heart what she has to accept. I am glad that she has that knowledge and I 100% believe she and her family will live more happily in the future as the result of that painful meeting. DDD [/QUOTE]
