[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 592196, member: 13542"] I recall those old Lon Chaney movies Barbara, the endings always made me cry because I felt so sorry for him..................sigh..............whatever makes this easier for you is good. For me, remembering my little girl, the well one, the one who looked so promising and innocent and beautiful was hard for me. My daughter changed so much after her husband killed himself, even her appearance changed, you could actually see the shift from a certain childlike innocence to a much older and more bitter appearance. I made an effort NOT to go there, go back in time to when my girl was okay, when she believed life was magical and good and held so much hope for her. She is so jaded now, living in a world I can't be a part of, no drugs, no substance abuse, just a darkness and lack of hope which I can't pull her out of. Seeing who she was made me hurt more for the loss of her, I had to let that girl go and recognize that she doesn't exist anymore, this new woman, this woman I have no connection to, took her place. That heartbreak, that grief, that knowledge was a part of my detachment process..................and it was [I]so hard....[/I]...........I hope your way of seeing it helps you and makes it easier for you.
