Your right, he is a little boy, he is very immature, he even calls me mama, a loving enduring name of his heritage. I once asked if I should make him call me by name since MLC ,but I think the answer was that the name is more loving than literal.

I'm not going to protect him from his own little ole mom, and youngest brother. They are good faithful people and maybe, I'm hoping they are being led by some grace to pursue.

Btw - I did end up eventually telling him he doesn't get to call me anything but Dawn, he laughed and said none of this is against you, your just putting yourself in the way. That was the last time we really spoke, and I finally got it and started to detach.

He was saying "let me do what I want to do" even with something as simple as learning to work the drv.

Wish me luck....let the day begin! Thank you soo much for your post!


The past can't be ahead of you in the future.
You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction.
What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
