I need to stop seeing myself as some sort of sacrificial lamb and common sense needs to prevail. What good am I to my youngest son if I’m broken and he gets half a mother at best, not to mention the potential of harm to his future and wellbeing. I’m keeping that at the forefront of my mind. What you said about seeing our children as separate from ourselves, as individuals has really struck a cord with me. I wish I’d learnt to do this long ago and not take personally the things he did that were incongruent with his upbringing and my values. We live and learn.
