[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 633104, member: 17542"] Yes, this is the Great Challenge of living and loving---especially our difficult children, but in reality with all people. It helps me a lot to see myself and him and everybody on their own walk, their own journey. To see a Grand Old God with his arm around difficult child's shoulders, slowly walking away from me, down a long and winding path---a path I cannot and should not know---their backs to me. Only they can see the path ahead as it gets smaller and narrower and they get smaller and smaller. I am not to go on that journey with them, but to wish them well. This helps me. Yes, absolutely, Cedar! You nailed it with this. I get used to the "new normal" whether it's jail, the street, whatever it is, and then there is a "new, new normal" and I have to get used to that again. difficult children don't stay put! : ) Yes it is. Yes it is. Thankfully, I didn't hear from difficult child yesterday at all. No news is good news right now. I just once again need that time and space and distance to get back to me. [/QUOTE]
