[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 651654, member: 17461"] Echo, your son is where he needs to be. He is manipulating you with a chilling sophistication frightening in its intentional cruelty. You do not know your child, Echo. You know your love for your child. Just as my love for my children blinds me, so does your love for this child blind you [I]however you think you feel about him.[/I] You need to leave the phone home and go to dinner with your S.O. No more communication with this son for tonight. None. Tomorrow, one call. As soon as he starts tormenting you, [I]you need to end the conversation Echo or you will not survive this intact.[/I] You need to walk or run or pound sofa pillows and scream into them until the sound of his voice in your head is quiet. It gets to be about survival, Echo. You need to decide, right now, right this minute, to do what is necessary to survive this. It will not be easy, pleasant, or in any way rewarding. But you will live, and you will remain present to the pain, and you will be fine. You are stronger than you know. It has been a long time, and you have forgotten. Cherish your strength, Echo. Nothing else is going to get you through this. Radical acceptance. Brene Brown ~ lean into it. Eckhardt Tolle: Every moment is exactly as you called it into being. Radical acceptance. The suffering of the Mary. Read about the suffering of the Mary on COM's Highchair Tyrants thread. You can do this. Your child is where he needs to be. He is there because that is the judgment that has been made by those who know. You are his mother. You will love him whatever happens because you have no choice. That is alright. This is not about love. This is about survival. You can do this. Cedar [/QUOTE]
