[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 630458, member: 17269"] Child, you are the clearest light in your family now. Because you chose to see, you chose to work, you chose to journey. Your son is struggling, and yet I see that he too is changing..without as much intentionality as you show, but still he is changing at least in his relationship to you. Your sister has not been in a place that requires such difficulty action yet. I totally get that. They were trying. They didn't know what to say. They wanted to acknowledge what she was going through, and they feared for themselves as well. People used to say that to me about difficult child as well.."I don't know how you do it". Uh....I don't have a choice, right? My sister, who is sole caretaker of her 7 foot 2 inch 400 pound severely disable 20 something son, hates to be told how strong she is, how brave she is, or anything like that. she is sick of it. Its all people say to her. I get that too. Yes. Cedar is spot on here. Your posts, always, speak of kindness, and often of strength. You have grown so wonderfully, like dawn. Please don't be angry at her about this. This sounds like some one doing the best they can, acknowledging you, being a little afraid...and desperately hoping they never have to find out if they too are strong! she is trying. Yes, exactly. I like people who are OK with death and dying. And I like you guys. Because trying to deal with the hard and unavoidable stuff thoughtfully, kindly, gracefully is part of a whole life. You got it, honey. Definitely file that under "families are just weird" in the big folder of "I love my sister and my sister loves me" Echo [/QUOTE]
