[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 591912, member: 13542"] You are a strong, courageous, gentle, compassionate woman Barbara, who finds herself in what is likely the most challenging struggle of your life...........you will call upon deep wells of grace, forgiveness, acceptance, love and wisdom in this remarkable emotional hurricane called detachment. If you can find laughter, I believe that will keep you afloat, keep you sane and keep you healthy. SO and I sometimes, probably through sheer exhaustion and terror, laughed uproariously as I did with other parents in my therapy group..............it helped so much. Thinking of you in that Spanx- inspired costume blowing away drug dealers is priceless! I just noticed that wonderful quote at the bottom of your post, wow, isn't that exactly what we all are involved in here, an act of faith, an intention, a project to learn to love so well and so deeply that we can let go and trust that whatever happens, without our control, that leap of faith we are forced sometimes to take, will leave us liberated, free in the hard won knowledge that a Higher Power is operating even when we cannot see or understand it. Laughter and faith, hmmmmm, seems like a plan of action. You've got everything you need on this journey.........and as always, we are all right there with you, in our own Spanx outfits, learning the ropes and breathing a collective sigh as we all LET GO...............keep the faith Barbara, laugh out loud every single day and keep us posted...........Love and hugs to you and husband.
