[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 639988, member: 17269"] Recovering, that is quite an amazing story. I love that you can step back and see your role in this, how you have changed, how you can love your daughter without all the agitation and angst that goes with loving or even knowing difficult child's for most of us, or all of us at some time. Your story is like a beacon, something to look to for direction and guidance. I have to say, I could feel my own chest tightening as I read along with the details...there are SEVERAL points where I would have freaked out! Which serves as a reminder to me that there is work still to do...like meditation, like running, this is a practice. I have been committed to those two things for a long long time, and I can see the progress...I can commit to loving and detaching from difficult child in the same, practicing, progressing way. I did have to laugh at Alb's comment about accepting our difficult child's being like black holes and time travel! Add computers and the world wide web in that mix for me, and I'm totally there. Meanwhile I am meeting my difficult child at the Dunkin Donuts across from my office later today...I will try try try to emulate you, Recovering. I think your post may have moved me another step along the way of doing this with grace. Echo [/QUOTE]
