I'm sorry you're feeling so down. I just wanted to interject a thought. It's good that you realize that needing TJ to survive might hinder your ability to help him. Kids can pick up on this, and you already have said that TJ can try to manipulate people. But don't let your fear of showing too much need for TJ to turn into being overly aloof. Yhere's nothing wrong with showing the boy how important he is to you. On the contrary, he needs someone who loves him and enjoys being around him. Dakota |
