My son is in the early stages of recovery and we are having good talks for the first time in a very long time......the last being when he was sober for four months three years ago. He is 29 years old. We had a great talk last night. He asked "Do you think its just a coincidence that the words 'mother' and 'smother' are only separated by an 's'" We both laughed. But I said "No.....I don't think it's a coincidence.....I think it is a very fine squiggly line between mothering and smothering." We laughed but it hit me that it is very very true.
