hi Hurting dad,
We all know the pain of seeing/thinking of our children on the streets. I had someone explain to me one of the reasons why: We see them as an amalgam of every stage of their lives. they are still our little boys when they are in trouble.
she then explained to me that my son was not a Little boy. He isn't as uncomfortable as I am probably believing, and that maybe he needed to be a little more uncomfortable so he would hit bottom and start wanting out and help.
okay so it made sense,and i use it when a rational decision needs to be made, but the little boy thing still is there in my head and heart. Sending understanding and strength your way
Cathy
