You Have Not Chosen Us
Beloved son, we hold you in our hearts for all eternity, but you have not yet chosen us to be your family. You keep your distance and view us as your pawns. You’re an expert at telling lies and weaving cons. We cherish you, though we feared for our lives, the times you threatened us with knives. It never diminished our love for you one bit, though it hurts us more each time you choose to hit. Attachment Disorder causes behavior to be strange, but we cannot give up faith that you will change. We pray your rage is only for a season-- that you’ll realize your anger has a reason. The therapy and medications are true blessings; You can now see a future less depressing. Though we don’t yet know what the outcome will be, dearest son, please choose us as your family. Pat Nelson September 18, 2009 My son has bipolar disorder and attachment disorder. These are both very serious disorders, and we battle them every day. We hope we will find the right answers and that he will have a good life--a successful life!
