I responded below to John about my son being a transcender. Susan, I read your post several times and saw myself and my son in so many of those descriptions. He and I definitely share a different space together--another level of thinking and being. Even at a young age, while we were homeschooling, I often thought that he was such a deep and special soul, someone, who if he had the confidence and was free of mental health issues, could change the world. Sometimes his thoughts would blow me away--how he views the world and other people, how he thinks deeply about what changes would make this world a better place. He has been someone that I connect so deeply with, and when he's not around (while at college or away for a few days) I feel such an emptiness in our home, like a light has gone out. I love all my kids deeply and they are all so very special to me, but the connection I have with my oldest son stems from us sharing this trait you have labeled for us--transcenders.
