ALL relationships evolve over time. Not every parent/child evolution is a happy one. It sounds like yours will be, which means you have done your job properly. It's something to take enormous pride it!

That is very true, all relationships do evolve over time, especially with our children, as they evolve/change almost on a daily basis. The hardest part is that you can never be sure what will be the outcome, no matter how hard you try. We had some extremely hard, painful experiences, I have made mistakes, so did he, but I think we managed to learn to accept each other and the shadows we carry on within, knowing that those shadows are not what define us and our relationship. So, I hope, our "evolution" will be a happy one in the end. Thank you very much for commenting.

Being a good Mother is the hardest and most important job there is. Job well done it seems.

It is DD, thank you for your kind words. Hard, important, a never-ending full-time job, with many ups and downs, trials and errors, but never giving up on those little creatures

The beauty, strength, love, tolerance and compassion you see in your son, is a reflection of yourself. He couldn't have become such a wonderful person, without it being modeled for him.

He has his moments
Thank you Rayne, maybe you are right, our kids are the echo of what we have been giving to them. It wasn't always easy, but I guess he recognized what is essential I have been giving to him all these years.

The blood bonds that never disconnect and only get stronger. Yes, sometimes there are growing pains, and no relationship can always fit into one standard mold, but how you both contribute to the loving relationships is all that matters.

Growing pains, such a good expression.. we had them and there is no doubt there will more in future but this "date" made me see a different boy, from a different angle, and maybe this separation made him see and understand some things differently, but you are right - it is about the mutual contribution if we want things to nurture and grow. Glad to see and read you here again
