I am new, just joined yesterday. I was hoping to find a site that had a group on IC and CC and look...here you are!!! I am so happy. I have a son who just turned seven and has been diagnosed AWE-tistic (lol) and I believe he is a CC. Things just dont fit with the DX. But the situation I am in with my kids prevents me from nurturing him in this area. Are there parents on here that have such gifted children? And if so, how did you know your child was blessed with this gift??? I guess that is the best place to start...on to reading the posts...
My eldest is Indigo. He's 10 and is a force to be reckoned with. I really didn't know much about it until LadyHawk mentioned it and I started researching online. Then it all kind of clicked
My youngest son is a Crystal, through and through. He is technically "on the spectrum" but there's no real diagnosis. He used to play with spirits and do all sorts of other fun things where you just knew he was seeing a lot more than I was Even now that he's older, you can see it, even if he doesn't play as much as he used to.
We have a lot of great discussions here on the Indigos & Crystals, and feel free to bring up your own stories and questions!
So, if I may ask, what is your situation that prevents you from nurturing his spirit?

It's a long story really. I will try to summerize... I was in a terrible marrige. To a man who was very abusive both p & e. He was terrible to me and his kids, so I took the kids and left. I filed for divorce in Aug of '05. That Christmas he took them and hid them from me. I got them back on New Years Day and in March they were taken away by DCS. He claimed that my daughter was sexually molested ny a guy I was seeing. None of the accounts or dates added up. Things were too neat and organized. Thought about, planned ya know. But Chancery court decided that they were better off away from me. My parents have my son and my aunt had my daughter till she put her in a boarding school. So for two years I have been fighting EVERYONE to get them back. I have to be a certain way...a certain image if you will... to even be considered to get them back. So I can't be ne and raise my kids the way they should be...in the end, my kids will have the light "put out" or stompped out of them. And that saddens me tremendously. Does that make sense????
It does make sense - I'm so sorry for your situation. If it helps at all, I truely believe that you can't stomp the light out of an Indigo - they have their own light from within, it's part of what makes them special

Oh yes, I understand, and I am so very sorry that it has to be like that for you... for now.
Like Scarlet said, their light will not be stomped out. I can tell you that first-hand, that their spirit will always triumph. That IS what Indigos and Crystals ARE. They have some tough lessons to learn and overcome, but they will do it and they will do it brilliantly. You will never have to worry about that.
So, will you be ready when they come back to you?

As an adult indigo - I can tell you, nothing will hold us back. Nothing.
My granddaughter too - overcoming tremendous obstacles, but emerging fulling formed and ready to take on the world.
I am so sorry for your situation. It must be very difficult for you and them. Hoping you get back together as soon as possible - play the game - they are worth it.
I would consider my 11 year old dd an indigo. She knows and is able to do things beyond what she tells me. My ex/her dad is entrenched in christianity and his wife really wants the kids so I can't do anything that makes me look out of the ordinary and she really has to hide herself when she visits. It's really horrible for these special kids who get stuck with people who can't/won't nurture them, but I totally agree with the others who say that these kids are made to perservere and will not just give up.
I have two Indigo/Crystal children and one with strong Blue, I am Indigo with Sensitive Tan/Blue/Crystal, and my DH has Blue/Sensitive Tan and Indigo traits himself. It is really interesting in our household. I am sending my grown son this link to take the test I think now. He has always followed his own path and I will be interested to see where he falls too.
My strongly Indigo daughter Amanda is pretty good at fitting in at preschool so far and seems to be able to camoflauge her traits that might make one think she might fall on a spectrum, but I see them at home. As her ped put it, she is so far ahead of all of us she might appear to be behind to anyone who didn't know better. Wise man
Anyway, I understand having to fit in to survive, and I can tell you we get pretty good at it over time, so hopefully she will adapt and realize she can do her thing but make it fit into society where it has to. I agree you can't keep us down for long. I'm sorry it's like fthat for all of you, but things have a way of working themselves out for the best in the long run, so hopefully this will be the case with her.

I discovered I like sunlight and warmth much more than peeling old doors anyway, so I climbed out the window and reveled in my discovery. I will never sit behind a closed door again, no matter how comfortable my chair becomes. Me
Mel, I'm glad you found your own open window and stepped through it.
