Both are heartbreaking. His self-awareness, as painful as it is, is such a step.

Sleep a peaceful sleep, may it bring everyone a lot of composure.

I am not sure what is more heartbreaking, believing that your kid would actually do you harm, or him fearing it also.

I'm so sorry Ms. Belle. Is it any better that he recognizes what can happen and doesn't want it to?

Sorry msbelle, mac, and grandma. I think some day you all will win this battle. Despite the fact that this is so far out of my world mac seems to be figuring out that he really doesn't like this sooner than before. You all are in my heart and I'm sending you strengh

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That self-awareness is a powerful thing. It was hard-earned and its going to see him through in the end.

Get some rest.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sending all manner of good health and calm healing thoughts to you and your famly, msbelle. You have all of them tonight.

Wow, msbelle. I just....gah. Can't imagine. (Or, rather, can, and really don't think I would come out nearly as well as you in that situation)

Oh msbelle, I am so very sorry, but I am also happy that you are in a place where you can get some more support.
