[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 708112, member: 18958"] I asked M, [I]was it inevitable?[/I] [I]No. Inevitable is what it would have been if we forced him to leave. He decided to leave. He does not want to accept authority. He wants to do what he wants. [/I] He left his duffle bag here and his drum, more like a tambourine. Maybe he will come back. I tried so hard. He tried, too. Miguel tried. We all tried. But we wanted different things. I know I cannot want for another person. That is the mistake I keep making. Except I have been clear for a long, long time, that I do not want to be a homeless shelter. I do not want to house him to give him a place to hide out from life, to escape from life's exigencies. That would be to deprive him of his right to a history, to collude with him to escape his history. I am clear about this. Then why does it feel so bad? [/QUOTE]
