teaching our children with patience and love

[haqiqu]

dear haqiqu
this post got lost but i wanted to say that i am very happy that u were able to break the cycle and not carry forward the abuse into your own life and have it affect your children. we are all faced with that choice and many choose to perpetuate the cycle of dysfunctionality. i know one thing dear , whatever problems your son might have he could not have a better advocate than you on his side.

thanks norral and confused. every bit of encouragement is greatly appreciated. i can see, through my daughter, that my efforts weren't wasted. she is a wonderful mother as well as a sensitive and caring physical therapist.

your kind words bring tears to my eyes . . .
