[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 602357, member: 13542"] Barbara, what a peaceful and calm post. And, in the midst of more difficult child 'stuff' too. Great job! All of your hard work of detaching and accepting has paid off, you are on the road out of devastation and on the road to recovery and health. I applaud you. I know what you've been through. I know how difficult it is. You found your own support systems, your own way, the people and books which would make this easier for you to comprehend and move on from. I sense a completion in your post, the recognition of just what we are not capable of doing, even with our mother's love...........it is certainly melancholy..........it is sad...........and yet one can emerge from this darkness and have a full life. I was glad to read your post about you and husband singing outside on a warm summer evening...........this is life..............emptying out the storage unit feels like a physical manifestation of what you and husband have been through, clearing out the remnants of what was, finding a place for those things and closing the door to that life............and you know when we close those doors, new doors open up for us. That is what I am finding. Your volunteer work, your relationship with your husband, your high heels.............all indicative of new life, new beginnings..............God bless you Barbara for finding some serenity in the midst of the chaos of someone else's life...............I am sending you all kinds of caring wishes and big hugs for your peace and joy to now be what your life is about...........
