[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 739142, member: 18958"] There is real wisdom in care's and tried's posts. The awareness we are in this for the long game not measured even in a year. That this is a marathon and the need to guard ourselves, our essence and stay in our own lives, lest we be spent. I don't know how to do this. I have no wisdom. I would have been elated. Over the moon with joy and pride. If my son had had the kind of year that had your son I would have been in ecstasy. And then devastated. How do we exult for them? How do we trust what we see, if not as you did, albatross? How do we live this? Is there any hope for a relationship with our sons? If this can happen. If even when it goes great, goes swimmingly, there is this kind of undertow. These are men now. Can you. Will you ever be able to be so present with him again, in his struggle? Are these the wrong questions. I think they are. I never believed I could turn away my son, as I have. But there came I time I could not not do it. How is there a way to hold this, that is not so soul killing? Your post shows restraint. I am Anna Magnani. Anna Magnani does not know how to do this. When bad is bad. And good is bad? Where do we stand? [/QUOTE]
