My profession was a caregiver and there were times when I also felt I was parenting with it... there are different levels of care giving. Some are full care, some partial, some only when needed. You are falling into the "only when needed". AND you are STILL needed. As a mom you will always be needed. He may turn to others for "caregiving" but you are needed to be there as a listener. The directing will come to an end - suggesting will take its place. Sometimes strongly suggesting. He will "stumble" in your eyes and you will help pick him up. You will "stumble" in his eyes but he will be there to make sure your ok and to need you emotionally. You are a very important piece to Sams life. Now its time to "just be there" and watch him grow. He will do it and you will cheer him on. He will also cheer on his loving mother and caregiver when he sees her loving and enjoying taking time for herself. You are Jodi ~ a loving, caring daughter,wife, mother & friend that has had a lot of crosses to bare and have done a marvelous job! Just don't forget about Jodi ~ that is truly who you are.Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757380959115298538noreply@blogger.com
