My Mentor

The words of the wise, her son!  Translated…

My sons’ personalities were totally different, my eldest is rebellious, acted up a lot, never obeying to the systems, would cause me to get “treated out for coffee” with his school teachers often; my younger son, is totally opposite, followed the rules down to the “t”, very understanding, other than listening to me rant, he’d often acted as my mentor, and helped resolve my issues, with his wise words.

A short while ago, my eldest son did something bad again, I was so headachy.  Just like I usually do, I’d poured my heart out at my youngest, and, ranted on and on, about what my eldest son had done that’s caused me stress since he was a very young child, and after I’d done ranting, I’d started, introspecting, “how come other people’s kids are so well behaved, unlike how your older brother would, give me, so much troubles?  Could it be, it’s something I did or didn’t do?”

As I was stressed out about whether or not I was, the cause of my older son’s misbehaviors, I’d started ranting incessantly to myself.  AT which time, my youngest son stated, “Of course you are at fault, mom, the problem is Y-O-U!”

My youngest who usually supported me, had splashed salt on my wound this time, I’d felt very miserable, “I’m on the verge of a breakdown, you’d broken my heart even more………”My youngest who’d not acted the least bit affected stated, “because you are the problem, you always put other people’s kids on that high pedestal!”

Suddenly, I saw the light, my youngest son’s words had, knocked me over.  There are troubles in every household, why would I need to feel, that other people’s kids don’t cause trouble for their moms, then, I’d not only needed to worry about my eldest, I also felt upset, getting trapped in the negative thoughts too?  Being awakened, I’d decided to take up the way of the Master, “Face it, Accept it, Cope with it, then, let it go”, to NOT allow my own negative feelings to affect me anymore.

Like I’d said, my youngest is, my mentor!

So, perhaps, this younger son always says the right things to his mother at the right time, or maybe, he’s just, intuitive, either way, this mom finally realized her own fault in her process of thinking, with the son’s help.
