[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 546518"] Thank you everyone...thought provoking, huh? Calamity Jane...That is a really interesting observation!!!! Signorina....I really like the kite story too! I actually posted a similar story about a tractor along time ago and if I can find it, will try to post it again. They are all insightful, good...and powerful. For some reason, this bridge/rope story hit me hard. Sometimes, when I try to make some sense out of this painful and non sensical situation we find ourselves in, grasping at straws, I wonder if this was the lesson we were suppose to learn...a lesson about setting boundaries and limits. And, letting go of the "illusion of control," particularly when it comes to others (even if that 'other' is our own child). Getting through it all, for me, was deeply painful. I feel much better now that most of that (growth/process) is behind me. Setting limits helped a lot. But, it has been a difficult process and I still have my moments...but I am grateful that these days, they are, for the most part, brief. [/QUOTE]
