I am here that is good -Bennett is with me that is good. I am not sure everything I do is right but Nancy says there is no right or wrong just what we do. It is hard to give up right and wrong and just be open and curious.
Already I see Bennett struggling with this understanding - and the school system relies on reinforcing good behaviors. I also know somehow B needs to learn how to be with other people and understand good or positive behavior.
Nancy helped to guide Ruth when something happened that was beyond good or bad, that is cancer. Bennett asked me if children get cancer like Momo.
So hard to know what is helpful and what isn't when you are trying to raise a little human. We all just do the best we can in the moment and hope it all works out. Tough question and tough answer. One of my ancient relatives used to respond when asked how she was doing - "I'm doing". I guess it's something to focus on - just keep doing.
