What can I say? I just want to be loved!Originally Posted by Rocky
This is something I wrote once about the relationship bewteen Cone and I. It explains some things.
"She loved him with an ache that was constant. He knew it. He abused it at times. Playing her for independent gain. He didn’t really want independence, just wanted to know he could break the apron strings if he so desired. The thought of leaving for college at the end of the week unnerved him. He knew he could depend on her for any need, but somehow the coming physical separation dealt him mental blows he wasn’t prepared for and that baffled his no-emotion intellect.
The bond of love; it was there since childhood. He* was never one for physical demonstrations. All it took between them was a meeting of the eyes and the face splitting smile that followed that cracked both faces in intensity. It was a love of the soul. She had never loved anyone like that. Loved different, yes, but not like anything she and he* had. It was all-encompassing, never failing; God and her child."

Okay... I don't doubt that you're an excellent mom. I'm a mom too, I can tell these things... but aside from the fact that he's not too into emotional stuff like that and has already made it known that he's particularly uncomfortable with you (and my guess is because he loves you as much as you him but he's just not comfortable displaying that kind of affection with his mother, and the fact that you're sooooo affectionate makes him uncomfortable), I think putting his IRL name in the forum was crossing a line...
I'm not saying that what you wrote isn't beautiful, it is... and I understand your feelings of frustration better than I let off in my defense of Cone's perspective in this situation (or at least what I perceive as his perspective)... but I'm just saying that it may bother him that you posted something so lovey dovey and private in a forum that he frequents...
So, no harm or hard feelings intended... please... =)

I know where you are coming from here. I post these things because he lets them roll off his back like water and seems to shake his head and say, "That's my mom for ya." Love is one feeling I refuse to tuck away because it makes someone uncomfortable. He has heard me say quite frequently that I don't want love that is only in secret. It feels false and it . . . quite frankly . . . hurts. It's my way of bugging him about it. There are things he posts that he knows blows my mind, but he doesn't let my being here hold him back. He are both set in our ways but we respect each other for our differences. It's nice to be treated like a person in my own right by my child and not always a mother.
No offense taken.

Also depends on them, if I get the feeling they're a bit iffy about touching and that kind of stuff then I'm a bit more awkward around them about it.

I need to add this to help everyone understand the relationship between Cone and I a little better. First off please note that he didn't direct any of his comments in this thread TO me. He talked ABOUT our relationship. He is strong enough in who he is and who I am to withstand a little mommy/son teasing on occasion. Give him more credit. He affords me the same respect he affords everyone else on this forum in that he sees and treats me as a person in my own right and standing. Something I have preached all his life. I've been told I'm the coolest mom ever . . . not by Cone. I'm not really sure what is meant by that but I preach respect . . . respect . . . respect.
Got it?

Respect... that's a very important lesson for anyone to learn. I try to teach my son respect, but I really stress consideration the most I think. My son is SO ADHD, so I really try to teach him to think about how his actions will effect those around him before he says/does something. I've been told many times that he's a very, very polite boy. They always tell me he's sweet, too... "Travis is one of the sweetest kids I've ever taught, but I spend 75% of my time working with him..." I've heard this from 3 teachers now...
I'm real sorry. I didn't mean it that way! I promise, I thought of it long before I posted. (BTW, your new avatar is really cool!)Originally Posted by Artemis
