[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 619902, member: 17542"] We have to rant Lil or the top of our heads will blow off with the insanity of it all. I am sorry that you are seeing the decline as the bank account numbers go down and down. I can imagine how many times you have looked at it. I do think it is jarring but helpful sometimes to see it this clearly in dollars and cents instead of events and sadness and unnamed sick fears. It is radical. This bad decision making that you are still tied to, today, that still continues as you remain thrifty and solid. You can see his train coming way way down the track and you can't do a thing to stop it. And oh that is so hard to have that kind of vision for our difficult children. It is the worst kind of powerless. Yes...We ARE powerless but we are not helpless. We have help...and by ranting it out once twice twenty times you are moving it out of your mind and heart and by doing so you will move forward. And then by working again to move toward detachment and radical acceptance that MWM talks about and reclaiming our own lives and a new, if fragile peace. And then more days of it and a deeper calm and growing serenity. We can still be upended and it may take time, again, to right ourselves but if we keep reaching out for that help, for tools, for each other, we can make progress. Powerless. But not helpless. Rage against it Lil. And then move to another place---for YOU---in your mind and heart, if you can. I am reminding myself now of gratitude...I have lost sight of it these past couple of days. But there it is again---I am seeing it again. Right now. Blessings and peace and prayers for you and your family today Lil. Sent from my iPhone using ConductDisorders [/QUOTE]
