Happy Easter

Well- I have been holding onto the threads of relationship with our son Partridge loosely. Heâs ever avoidant and a glimmer of closeness really freaks him out. Yet heâs our son and I truly love him. Anyway. Something happy happened this weekend. I dreamed on Easter Saturday night that Partridge came to church. I woke and thought ânot in a million years! He couldnât be further from a point of faithâ went back to sleep. General flapping about getting ready on Easter Day as I was playing in church etc. Anyway all set up and the church was packed. I look up and who did I see over the music stand? Yes it WAS MY SON! My heart leapt and he stayed for the service (thankfully a lively interactive one- he likes that) and he said he might go again! He popped home for his Easter bunny and We said goodbye. Itâs always awkward disjointed and acting really for young partridge. Before he went out the door, he came back to the lounge and touched my arm. Tiny but a meaningful connection. So. He did say heâd try and be in touch more. Iâd love that but I tried to be even handed and say that would be lovely but whatever you think. Texts are nice. Iâm hoping that maybe he might be able to decide for goodness in his life rather than the dark gloomy life he currently chooses.

PS Partridge explained that a shelf fell down about 3am and he hadnât managed to sleep since and a thought arrived in his head. I could go to church!

I donât comment on these boards as I am still in the early days of adoption with young children but I follow them all. Pear tree as a Christian your post sent a shiver down my spine! That is so lovely to read. A real Holy Spirit prompting moment! Praying that this stirring in him continues to grow! Lovely, thank you for posting.

I donât usually comment on positive posts either but that one really brought a glow to my heart! Iâm not particularly religious but I do think there is definitely a spiritual / unconscious dimension that affects things - Iâve experienced it in therapy. Partridge sounds very much like my son too who is hugely avoidant - no Motherâs day or birthday present or card or even text - he manages to keep going with casual coaching and is still at home - no toxic girlfriend fortunately but a really good group of friends. Anyway to add to the good news - Iâve just dropped him at court for his first day of jury service - which he hasnât attempted to get out of despite talking about if this was possible! Iâm really happy for you Pear Tree - and for Partridge as itâs such a big step for him

Pear Tree, what a lovely post. It's wonderful when things like this happen- call it coincidence if you want, but I've seen too many to think that! It sounds like a really positive step forward for Partridge, which is heartening xx
