Help and advice needed to save a soul from damnation

[Angrboda]

I'm... strange...

It may be old fashioned, but I think unconditional love is still a crowd favorite.

Why do we feel the need to make others into versions of ourselves. I'm not a parent, so I don't understand. I understand you want the best, and maybe I'm idealistic and unrealistic, but I think the best is probably helping him be the best him that he knows how to be. I'm a broken child. My parents were very controlling. I'm still trying to recover from a childhood in which both my parents tried to restrict, thwart and channel my growth to serve their own selfish needs. I will die before I am able to become completely unfolded. Perhaps that's true of us all. Non-parent, and a lot of Taoist based mystical mojo about how to live and be is all wrapped up in this advice, but after a life lived as a Taoist, that's simply how I roll.

I wish you both well.



(ETA: This may be a bit silly, but my life has been drenched in ethics and the philosophy of morality lately. [Mea culpa.] But the golden rule is as serviceable as ever; do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Try to imagine your roles reversed, with him as the father, and you as the son: how would you like your dad to be about his beliefs vis a vis your rather 180 degrees separation between those and your own beliefs, cares, loves, worries... and needs? What did your real life father not do for you as a child that you wish he would have done?)
