@Decadian. I haven't read your response to me yet. Just read your response to @Zoe7.
And yes, we should cry for your son & all like him. A mothers tears are the most potent. I understand that. But we all need to cry for your son - as it's the way to stop this history repeating itself.
And I cry for you too @Decadian - because I am a mum. And I don't care what my son may do in the future - my love for him is unconditional - as is yours.
Your son was a beautiful unique child - who unfortunately, did not quite fit this world with all it's rules and lack of compassion.
Some people call children like your son - an Indigo Child - sensitive. They can pick up people's pain. They are sensitive to light and noise and emotions.
I don't see him as a damaged child. I see him as a unique beautiful soul - who was very sensitive to this world & who had a rough start. How truly lucky he was to have you as his mum.
I am crying bucket loads of tears for you both & for other sensitive children and their parents. I am not offering sympathy. Just purely an understanding of how unique and wonderful and complicated your beautiful boy was.
Love and hugs. ♥♥♥♥
