[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 722503, member: 18958"] i do not know how to use my quote machine with my cell but want to quote this: i'm trying to be the parent he needs me to be. (sam3) this is not an end. but the opening up of space to begin again. in a different way. your story as a mother is not in the main the advantages you conferred. it was and is a story of the kind of love and fierce devotion and hope and responsibility that fuels mothers to pick up cars to save their child. except that kind of love will not work now. you tried and tried and tried more. and g-d knows so did i. if there is an ending it is only of that--of the dream that we can save them by our wild and desperate love; by giving all. all of that love and care you gave him is in him. he needs to (and i believe he will) in time find it in himself and act on it. that is the gift of love you bestow now. the gift of restraint. at terrible cost to you. now is the time to rest. for me too. too much beating of my wings against a cage that i erected myself. all the love and hope is still there. if i have the courage to let go.
