[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 675444, member: 18958"] Thank you, Defiant. One of my aches and pains for my child is that he mocks faith. I believe at heart he is somebody who yearns to believe but very ugly things have happened to him in his life. He is angry at G-d. My son was the type of child who some people felt was as if a "little buddha" with the greatest sensitivity, a great sweetness. He has turned hard. And bitter. At least outwardly. I try to stay open to the idea that he may still be kind and gentle as he was before. Somewhere inside. I raised him alone. We were very, very close. Exceptionally so. I understand that he may have to go overboard trying on all kinds of versions of manhood that he may one day discard. When he was 21 I became involved with M who I have lived with for 6 years. That made it all the harder for my son. In ways I may not understand. It is I who would be interested in speaking with this man, your friend. Coincidentally, much of my work life was in California prisons. I work in a helping profession, the medical field. My stance has been like his. With the same result. People respond to love. Duh. Thank you. COPA [/QUOTE]
