Re: Hope/dreams
How about this...
Hope can be dangerous if, when living with an N, hoping they'll get better, hope they'll hear & understand you, give to you....
Hope can be dangerous if one thinks they can do something that defies laws of physics (I know, bad example)
etc, etc,...
But for your future - first you hope and dream, then you write them down and set goals.  Then you can work backwards, and say, if I want to be "at this place, at this time"  then I need to do these ... steps to get there.   First I do this.....
Therefore, there's hope you for you Bones! 
Let me know if I'm totally off my rocker, or offended you, been a long day and I know from my experience, looking back at myself sometimes my epiphanies can get wacky.

Hey, KatG!

It makes perfect sense!

When one is a child, that child has child-like hope that the NWomb-Donor can change into a loving mother.  It is a painful transition to finally realize that the NWomb-Donor will NEVER change and to continue doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, is Einstein's definition of insanity!

So, instead of wasting hope on the NWomb-Donor, take the hope back FROM the NWomb-Donor and focus on oneself.

(It's getting late at night here, too, and I'm feeling sleepy so I'm just writing what is bubbling to the surface like I did in graduate school.  I think there's a name for this kind of writing...)
