[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 682131, member: 18958"] You know, I have permitted myself to be the whipping boy of others way to many times in my life. For many of us, PASA, it is gratifying that you are drawing the line. You know I am still dealing with the aftermath of my mother's death over 2 years ago. My recovery has been difficult both because I am not sure what was behind my decision to dedicate myself and sacrifice myself in the end to her care: whether it was one hundred percent love and responsibility, or because I had been trained to sacrifice myself as my role, and knew no other way to be. I would not have made another choice: Not because I am a good person, but because I did not know how at that time. I wonder if I would have chosen differently now, or still the same? I am glad you are letting your son be responsible for his own choices, and for his own reactions to his situation. In this way he has the opportunity to grow and change. It seems clear to me that it is the right course. I know not if I would have either the strength or the character to do the same. COPA [/QUOTE]
