[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 615418, member: 17461"] I would pay it. But Echolette...you see where that kind of thinking has taken me. When you and I are healthier, paying a fine, reinstating a license, covering rent ~ none of those things will be an option. But we are where we are in the process of detaching. You have to do what you need to, to be able to look at yourself in the mirror in the morning ~ now, and ten years down the line, too. I think that is part of successful detaching, too. We finally get it that nothing we do creates the situation we intended to create (a fresh start for the difficult child) by helping. It is a hard place to be. But I do know this: As I am freeing myself from carrying the guilt of difficult child kids around, [U]it feels great. [/U] We will get there, Echolette. Cedar [/QUOTE]
