[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 656757, member: 17461"] The story is not over, Copa. None of us knows how this is all going to work out. Maybe Copa, it [I]is[/I] a redemption story. So, we might as well love ourselves and one another to the degree that we are able [I]today[/I]. That is not too much to work with, then. To hold that intention, I mean. Just for today, just for this minute, this one, shining moment out of time, I can do this. I can make a boundary. I can take it on faith that I am here on purpose, that there is no one else out there who could do this, who could magically fix this either, because we, my child and I, are in a difficult situation, for sure. I don't know where this is going, but I do know my intention is correct. That is all I know. This is my child, and I love him. I can remain present. I can hear my child's words and let go and be my best mother for him, [I]and for me[/I], and we will get through this thing. Small steps. No catastrophizing. Child of Mine describes worry as a fast getaway on a wooden horse. I really liked that, when I read it. Cedar [/QUOTE]
