Mmmm, I enjoyed that ramble VERY much. (munch munch munch, let me put my chips away)
I have a Jacob too! (but we call him Jake) also 15, but a Pisces. He was given the ability to see auras during a dream at age 12 (I think). LONG story for another time...He was seeing too many things so he has "turned it off" (you see, according to him...and I BELIEVE HIM...if you "shut" it off you can't get it back, but if you "turn" it off you CAN turn it back on). I'm waiting patiently for that. His experience is what actually led me to start digging deeper spiritually.
You mentioned
people suffering with mental and emotional "tweaks" flock to me and my patience and understanding is unconditional
It reminded me of a book (well, if you can call it that, it's more like a little handbook) called "Bringers of the Light". I picked it up because it looked like I could finish it in one sitting...LOL I never got past step 2 (page 20...short pages and double spaced!!!)
Anyway, it says that we do not come here with a purpose assigned to us, rather we create our purpose. Here's why I got stuck - Once you define that purpose you will attrack who/what needs what you have to offer. Well, whether we create our purpose or if it is given to us by God, who knows, but it seemed natural that my purpose is to love. Just love. Then my mind started racing with what that might attract and I freaked.

(And stopped reading...I WILL get back to it...maybe after I re-learn geometry so I can drill it into my Jake's head.)
I do seem to attract some pretty needy folks, but I just wasn't ready to accept the responsibility of them "flocking" to me.
SO- for you, people suffering with mental and emotional "tweaks" flock to you because of your patience and unconditional understanding. Pretty cool.
This too is pretty cool:
If you don't want me to know how your honestly feeling then don't get to close to me in proximity or your beat, because I'm never wrong! I can "smell" the difference between stupid and evil too and find that while this used to smoother this fire sign now ignites me to the heavens.
I admire your confidence in your intuition. I have this ability too, but lack the confidence you have. As far as I can recall, I haven't been wrong, but I guess I like to see the "proof in the pudding" before "I throw the baby out with the bathwater" (now those are quotes I never used before

)
I gotta' say, I also admire you and your kids. That is SO young to have babies! Do you think what you went through with your mom made you a better mom? Sure sounds like you've got it down good!!!
Perhaps it's the whole confidence thing again. Not second guessing yourself. Seems like that's something I really need to work on...then again (lol) seems like there are times I should have 2nd guessed myself and didn't. Oh well.
Hope ya' like MY ramble
LOVE!!!
