(((( LOST ))))

I'm sorry you felt the need to delete your post. I did read it yesterday but was not in a place to respond as I was dealing with a lot of my own stuff.

I can relate to those kinds of conversations - with my daughter. And it's so hard for kids to understand that there is no limit to love - and that there doesn't have to be a MOST or BEST.

I think you did a great job in expressing this...but I imagine that it's still hard for your son. It was hard for my daughter, because she wasn't hearing what she wanted to hear - even though my message to her was that I DO love her tremendously, and love others tremendously as well.

It seems that there are some underlying issues that are causing some insecurity. Have you thought about addressing that? I'm not quite sure how, but it may be worhwhile to consider. How old is your son? My daughter is 9 - but many of these conversations began several years ago. Please PM if you need some support but don't want to post it here. I am in and out today, but will try to get online on occasion.

lost, I read yesterday also. I'm sorry you deleted your story. Your son sounds so cute in how he was insisting that you choose. Boy vs Daddy. Oy! But you let him know you love him and he is important, and I admire you for how you handled it.

Thank you. Is it possible to be triggered by your OWN thread? I had a REALLY painful, and sad session this week and seeing the conversation,with my son, on paper stirred up some really painful feelings regarding the session and my own needs regarding love.

Oh yes, Lost....I know there are times when I put things on paper...and it makes such a difference to see the words...and it certainly allows for certain emotions to come to the surface. Although you mentioned your session was painful and sad, it seems to have been productive.
