[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 620932, member: 17542"] I think this is very true. Another way I have heard this is: Run toward the thing you fear the most. With my difficult child, I am afraid he will die. I also know there are things worse than death, and I am afraid that some unnamed thing I can't even articulate will happen to him. And he will suffer. Sometimes I let myself think about just the overall health deterioration that is going on with him right now. And how that will affect him over time, if he does have time. Sometimes I think about how much he is suffering right now in his compulsion to get drugs. I am also finding that as I face my deepest fears, they lose a lot of their power to rule me. I am still afraid, perhaps, like of these things I have just written, but they don't paralyze me like they once did. Step by step, on the path to acceptance, we deal with these things and so many more. We look behind us and see piles of fears that we have survived. Huge piles of them. We are still walking, RE. And many of us are walking together. I am grateful for that. [/QUOTE]
