[QUOTE="Steely, post: 484868, member: 3301"] I woke up thinking about this today Malika....And I remembered something very important. I have always felt I was *meant* to be Matt's Mom, because I feel very certain that most other parent's would not have the patience, hope, or insight into him that I do. That might sound pompous, but hope it is not. It is just that he is truly a very, very difficult person. Even my parent's could not handle him. So when I looked around and saw all the other "soccer moms" and their lack of emotional wisdom, I realized I really was one of the few that I knew that could face dealing with his drama day in and day out. I believe that had he grown up with some other parents that lacked true emotional insight, his dad for example, that he would have grown up a delinquent, in jail, and destitute. That piece is very important to me in my concept of raising him - that I helped him at least grow towards the light, and not towards darkness by my unconditional love. [/QUOTE]
