[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 659453, member: 17269"] Albatross, you are SOOO doing the right thing. I want to stand behind you and help hold you up, because I know how hard it is, and I know in my bones that it is right, and not cruel. I thought about your post for 24 hours before responding, because I couldn't think how to support that statement...and then I thought...if we had a child in perfect health, we would logically make them birthday cake and buy them the occasional (or frequent) ice cream cone. If we had another child with diabetes...WE CAN:T MAKE THEM CAKE OR BUY THEM ICE CREAM. It isn't because we don't want to, or because we dont' love them...we HAVE TO WITHHOLD THAT STUFF FOR THEIR HEALTH AND LIFE. It isn't a perfect analogy, but it helped me a bit. Because little gifts are so tempting...and they open the door to badness. You are being brave and good, a fine parent. Keep doing it! Such a simple thing, and such a big step, COM! exemplifies the progress you have made. And now you have paper towels! It is true. It is a hard hard path, and one that observers can't understand...but it is our path. You have a relationship with your son now. He is doing better. You are healthier and better. HOld that thought in your mind now...water those seeds. You are doing great. Hugs, Echo [/QUOTE]
