“A ship that sails a straight line never discovers new land.” I LOVED this! I have no human children, so have nothing to compare raising “normal” and “other” (I hate even writing those words) kids, but your words brought tears to my eyes. To my way of thinking, you are doing an outstanding job with your son. My hat is off to you.

The best answer I’ve seen yet for why babies find their way into “certain” families.

Indeed. I had a “difficult” child. And fatherless. He was so angry. People always were saying that all he needed was a good beating. He got spankings until I realized there would be no end to them, no end to the escalation, and they served no purpose. People with compliant children do not realize that the children are compliant because that’s just the personality they were born with, NOT because the parents have some kind of magical technique. I gave in a lot. People extolled the virtues of consistency, but I just couldn’t be strong enough and smart enough ALL THE TIME. My son didn’t have just the same problems as yours, but he was smart, different, and scared. I remember the endlessness and the relentlessness of it all. But I did think that God sent him to me because he knew I would keep trying. He is not yet doing very well in life, he may never, but he survived adolescence and he got through it. He’s shaky, but on his feet.

I think are so incredibly wise. You two are a team, and maybe you take turns being the coach of that team, but you and that gorgeous boy? You were made for each other.
