[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 739966, member: 23349"] Oh, Leafy, what a beautiful and heartbreaking encounter. This sounds exactly like what I’ve been through with C. He never directly asked either, but I always sensed that he wanted me to ask. And I didn’t. For the same reasons you didn’t. It’s so hard, though. I felt like a monster. I pray this is a pivot point for her, too, as I pray that this new room will be a pivot point for C. You’re right - being homeless does look like a lot more work than living a conventional life. It sounds like maybe Rain has come to a place of recognizing that there are other ways to live? I always find it interesting that my two difficult ones seem to see each other’s issues more clearly than they see their own. It sounds like Rain has a lot of insights into Tornado’s behaviors as well. I find that it is so hard to balance between hope and caution when I have these little breakthroughs with my kids. I tend to err on the side of hope, even knowing I may get my heart broken again. Because how can we not hope? Hold on to that hug. No matter what does or doesn’t happen next, that moment means something. [/QUOTE]
