Thanks guys. It is hard. Like Tink, I have been that way for my entire life and I hate for him to feel inadequate. He has so many gifts, I want him to see them. I don't want him to feel like I do, completely untalented and unwanted all of the time. It's so miserable to be mediocre at everything you do. I want him to see the value in his gifts and do his best to let them shine through and focus on them instead of looking constantly at the talents he doesn't have and wishing they were his. I have never been able to do that. I have never excelled at anything well enough to be like "this is MY thing" and focus on it, I only see all of the talents I wish I did have and mope about them NOT being mine. You know even to this day I see people, musicians, artists, wonderfully crafty people and wish that was me. I just did not grow up to be the person I thought I would. I am so mundane. It breaks my heart that I have drug my DH and sweet sweet boy into mediocrity w/ me.
I know it is the plight of all parents to want your children to NOT go through the pains and heartaches that you did. And I know that everyone has to grow up on their own and there WILL be pain and heartaches. I just wish I was a better mom and knew how to steer him through it.
