And that's all that matters.<br /><br />(Lord knows we all need therapy)<br /><br />I'm a father too and have done so many stupid things that I look back on and kick myself over. But the key is to recognize and realize when we blow it, and while you can't go back, you can go forward having learned from past mistakes. It's about bettering yourself (and your post shows your motive).<br /><br />It's clear that the first comment above was from someone who has the delusion that they are 'above' you in some way, and think that they have some right to stand in judgement over you and your life (likely they think their 'faith' gives them this right, which is a shame)...<br /><br />...And unfortunately those that stand in this 'high' place can easily paint a negative image, about you -- or anyone they deem lower than themselves -- to a kid. And the image they paint may be accurate in some senses, but that's not their job. It shows their arrogance and pride. It's manipulative. And as equally damaging to a kid as the "C'mon! Are you a a pussy" type of comment.<br /><br />So, really, no one wins here. The same vicious circle. <br /><br />You obviously still have much love for your son, and I believe that love will be realized some day in some way between you two -- as long as you continue to care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542677363233780144.post-44468131361065122372012-06-13T15:37:21.332-04:002012-06-13T15:37:21.332-04:00Hello there, faceless, clueless Anonymous. You hav...Hello there, faceless, clueless Anonymous. You have completely and unequivocally missed the point of this blog and blurted out words and ideas showing quite clearly that you have no idea not only what you're talking about but what I'm trying to convey. This post was meant as an admission of wrongdoing by me at a time when I had no idea what that wrongdoing was and no idea why it was wrong in the first place. You obviously have no clue as to the mind, actions, thoughts and challenges that I face. Granted, none of us are perfect, except for you, apparently. However, until you have walked one foot in my shoes, much less a mile, reserve your judgement for those in your own circle of hypocrisy. Otherwise, accept that you can read anything into a single word in a post, a word such as 'others', for instance and draw whatever conclusion makes you feel justified in your misguided judgement. If that doesn't work, then just shut the fuck up and stew in your own self-righteousness. By the way, thatnks for the comment. It further justifies my intent to continue writing. You scamp, you.Jeffrey Brunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287058093700236553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542677363233780144.post-8010108936838612272012-06-13T11:18:37.486-04:002012-06-13T11:18:37.486-04:00Whatever happened to forgiveness ?

I am so glad Jeff was able to go to Avery's graduation, and am proud of him for showing his his thoughts/feelings/love in the above blog. I have an idea as to the identity of "Anonymous" and that is a really sad person. Maybe some day Gramps and I will be able to fully understand why "others" chose to pull Anna and Avery from us.

In the world that you live in, i guess that level of response is to be expected. I remain anonymous regardless of your "strong" misguided beliefs, "faith" and opinions.

Interesting to read how you are taking ownership up until the next to last paragraph where you wrote, "I am not the monster Im portrayed to be by others". Key word being "others". "Others" did not contribute to how your son feels about you as his father....rather YOU did that to yourself. Your actions, words and choices (medically imposed or elective) are the root cause of the damage and hurt that YOU caused your son. You succeeded on your own, not with anyone else working against you. Your revelation here would have been applauded and even respected had you accepted responsibility through the end, but as you continue to do, you deflect the consequences of your actions onto others. I would place this (based solely on your ending) on the Bestseller list as "fiction". For your pride, I hope that one of your 8 followers gives you the sympathy and support you are so deperately craving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
