[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 583850, member: 1721"] Thank you, Recovering. :O) As time passed, I was able to admit that I can't protect my grandchildren from this anymore than I was ever able to protect myself from it. You are right that my role needs to be to function as a safe place, a refuge. And a witness. After I blew through the initial shock, I was able to respond to my grandchild appropriately. I am shocked at the depth and pervasiveness of my capacity for denial. Oy vey. Barbara [/QUOTE]
