[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 751397, member: 18958"] When I can't find words or logic to explain what I feel in relation to my son or to explain what I choose, I fall back on this: [U]The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.[/U] I read the book more than 50 years ago, and all I remember is that it has to do with the wildness of the human heart. That's enough for me to use the title, one size fits all, for all of the inexplicable things I do and say and feel, that I can't justify to myself let alone somebody else, that have to do with love. I identify with your husband Albatross, who I sense from your writings is a good and loving and honorable and loyal man. Maybe another shortcut way to understand our differences is through the Jungian pairs of typologies used as the basis for the Myers Briggs Personality test. You know the one: extroversion/introversion, sensing/intuitive, thinking/feeling, judging/perceiving. Maybe your husband like me is an ENFP. He thinks with his heart. He understands where he is based on intuition not data. He has a hard time putting things into black and white, and thinks instead in shades of gray. He needs people. He needs your son. The way I feel about life is that there are deep currents that nourish and guide us, of which we are seldom conscious. These are inexplicable to others but extraordinarily powerful. And they are not logical. Love is love but the way each of us feels it, relates to it and acts on it, makes us uniquely us. [/QUOTE]
