[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 672896, member: 17461"] This is a healthy response. I love the part about not needing this crap and the part about wishing the kids could see what their behaviors are doing to the parents. I love those two ways you are seeing. Your description of the youngest child's addiction as his responsibility and not yours clarifies for me the ways I would like to begin thinking around those issues for my own kids. Not just around issues of addiction, but about psychological boundaries in general. And Family of Origin stuff, too. How are you doing with everything, today? I am savoring allowing myself just the first, beginning legitimacy in choosing to define our situations from your healthier perspective. I am sorry this time is so hurtful for you. Your post helped me. Cedar Ha! I can't believe you said you don't need this crap. I never say that, even to myself. I will, now. :O) I love that. I may make it my motto. "I don't need this crap!" Where others pray for patience or strength, I will roar: "I don't need this crap." With an exclamation point. Ha! My world is changing. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
