[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675589, member: 19522"] Hi Colleen, I am glad you were able to have a nice time with family for Christmas, it can make a big difference. It is so wonderful that your sister has a special love for your son.[I] Everyone[/I] deserves to be loved and cherished. The more love he sees and feels, the better, that's what I think. I think it is kind and good that you do not worry your sister. Take this time to breathe and enjoy, to relax and have fun with family. I hope that your son is reminded[I] how very precious this is.[/I] It is all a part of this journey. Of course you are not naive. There is nothing wrong with changing your focus, enjoying the sweetness of life. It is a good switch from the everyday routine, and hopefully will give your son a different perspective. It will be okay, Colleen, whatever the outcome, it will be okay. Oh did you see the Viktor Frankl video? I love this too, that we can see the search for meaning and purpose in our adult children.... I just received his book "Mans Search for Meaning" and hope to learn much from it. Copa is correct, when we see our children this way, it is [I]freeing[/I]. It may not be the path we would have them on, but, they are living [I]their lives[/I].... You know this is probably only temporary, Colleen. You sound like a wonderful person, working and volunteering in a profession that reaches out to kids. I am sure many children have benefitted from your care. Sometimes our kids just naturally resist Mom or Dads advice, it is a way to [I]assert their independence[/I]. One day, someday, they will come around full circle........ I am so glad you had a chance to breathe, and have a good Christmas Day. Peace be to you and yours, (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
