[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 758131, member: 18958"] Dear Newstart What a powerful post and powerful message. I truly understand how you feel and how impossible it feels to reconcile the reality of our children and how they live, with our deepest need to love them and to be loved. I have no wisdom at all to impart, only to tell you that I am in the same place. What I am trying to do is to learn to hold my love in my heart for my son, and at the time hold myself in my heart with love too. That does not mean that I can or should have contact with my son who continues to live in a way that is harmful to himself and to others. I know all too well the pain of having the worry and sadness and the need to let them be, with a prayer. But I see that is all there is for me right now, accepting the reality of right now. My son can't live how I would wish and hope. It's not my job to have wishes and dreams for him that he does not hold for himself. I can have these for myself, and I will. Love. [/QUOTE]
