[QUOTE="Malika, post: 573525, member: 11227"] No, I'm afraid I can't give them yet another reason to think I'm coming up with excuses for J's unruly behaviour... downward smiley. They don't know that J is adopted - I don't think it's relevant for them to know, although the school does - and I don't think it's going to help him to tell them. Basically I'm not sure that explaining difference actually leads to more compassion and understanding; I fear it may sometimes create the opposite, here anywhere. Anyway, just now I'm feeling really tired with it all and plotting escape (even though escape is so illusory, I know). Fed up with the village and the constant observation and judgement, fed up with living in this glass bottle, fed up with the rigid school curriculum, fed up with... French! So buddhist training would say... how does that feel, how does fed-upness feel....? The problem is not the problem and yet... I do feel like instigating change. Fingers crossed... oh, fingers crossed!... my strange downstairs neighbours want to buy my house, if they can get the bank loan, and I then face decisions... about where to go, what to do. [/QUOTE]
