[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 622649, member: 17461"] Just lately ~ just very, very lately...I have been wondering what the mothers of spiritual seekers have thought about what their seemingly difficult child children did. Talking to either of my kids, but mostly abundantly, when talking to difficult child daughter (probably because difficult child son only speaks swear language with me these days!) Ahem. Talking with difficult child daughter is like listening to someone genuinely unlike anyone I have ever spoken with. She is so generous, sees so well, seems so forgiving. She treats herself and her child exceedingly well when she has money, and they just accept poverty, including begging in the streets, when the money is gone. husband told her he wasn't giving her anymore money, since she blew hers at the casino. She said, "I know, Dad. It'll be alright." She always thinks everything is going to be alright. We talked, one time, about how everyone wanted her to feel vengeance for the male who beat her. She didn't then, and doesn't, now. Fear. That, she feels, in the sense of getting away from where she is before he is released. But not vengeance or hatred. I have heard that kind of thing so many times, here on the Board. The kids don't really care whether they have homes, or cars, prestige or food. The Russians used to believe the mentally ill had been touched by God, that they were sacred. In many countries, a spiritual quest, replete with walking away from life, with begging, is something that happens. Cedar spits a stream of tobacco juice into the dust, disgusted with her capacity for rationalization. But.... HA! :O) This is an incredible thread, COM. Cedar [/QUOTE]
