Finding nuggets of gold on this Great Big Hill

[Pudmuddle]

Thanks uR. I did say what I had to say and it felt good to lay it all out on the table. I didn't have any expectations of what I said long or short term because I realize that he is where he is at the moment, that is only in his present. That's all he can see right now. Because of some of the answers he gave me I can see this clearly, that he is still stuck and doesn't have the current coping skills to do this.

I also know that he is a person that has to absorb for days, even weeks things that have been said so I didn't expect anything. That's why him showing me his work sched was a pleasant unexpected surprise. This is his teenaged attempt at showing me he was being a good boy.

I know he has lots of work to do within himself before he comes out to see the sun. For now, I am willing to wait a bit more, search for the next candycrumb in the path on the way to the candy house.
