[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 438459, member: 4264"] I have to say as a 12 year member here, this is the most impressive post I've ever read here. I've seen people learn here and grow from it and watched them change and widen their views and are such enjoyable long term members now. I've seen others be unable to listen and learn and realize that they, along with the rest of us, can always find a way to learn from others experience. That we never get to be experts, we constantly can learn more and grow. Those members usually disappear without warning for good, or they stalk off with a angry/hurt post (which nobody ever wants to see happen!) and sometimes pop up down the line when they are ready to join the rest of us in learning. I too have seen growth in your posts and this post proves why forums like this make a true difference in our lives. You know, I wonder if your sister ever realized you were so upset by the series of events when you were there, and I wonder if she at any time felt judged. As a sister whose brother left me at times feeling judged and found wanting, I know it would mean the world if he ever came to me to say that he did his best with what he knew at the time, but that he might not have been right all the time and that he's been learning and growing and hopes that I don't ever feel judged again. Overall, a person willing and committed to learning and growth can only do good for difficult child family members. Something tells me combining this growth of yours along with your obvious desire to love your nephew and support your sister might mean even without being involved full time anymore, you might have something unique to offer now that might just over time be invaluable. Keep it up :) [/QUOTE]
