[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 595706, member: 13542"] Oh JKF, I know that feeling so well. Something Calamity Jane said to me when I was expressing a similar emotion was, "what are you going to do, wear a hair shirt?" I had to look it up to understand, but geez, it made me laugh. I told my codependency group about it and every time one of us would lament about our guilt about our kids and what we have and what they don't (as a result of their choices, by the way) someone would say, "what are you going to do, wear a hair shirt?" It would break that spell of guilt................you made all the right choices, there is nothing else for you to do.........distract yourself with a nice hot bath, a cocktail, a book, a sweet conversation with your husband............ before you know it it will be Friday and he will be back in the shelter.............until then, take care of YOU.
