[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 611048, member: 13542"] Cedar, yes I too love things explained through myths. Those quotes about judgment, or the Great Way being open for those who have no preferences.........make me ponder what I hold as the 'truth' and often will bring openings, an opportunity to see beyond the veils of illusion I think we are simply born into. It helps to keep me on my toes so to speak, from getting too mired in my own judgments and opinions..........keeps me honest!! Greenrene, I can certainly identify with all that you're saying. It's been said that when we have our own children is when our issues with our parents seem to surface. I just want to say that I am truly sorry you are on this path with Cedar, Witz, me and others.............having a nurturing and loving Mom is something every child deserves.............however, you are young and you seem determined and committed to your healing and wholeness and that is a recipe right there for success. As you can see, you're not alone. We're here with you. Witz, thanks for the suggestion to archive this thread, I will do that. Oh, I have an addition to my response to the poison pond story............yesterday, my SO and I went out to brunch and I told him the poison pond story and my reaction to it being that I had walked out of that pond and was still reconciling leaving my daughter behind, still in the pond. Well, in true SO fashion, he said, "you didn't leave her behind, you pulled her out of there repeatedly, hosed her off, used all your strength, reserves, money and everything you had to keep her out and in spite of all your efforts, [I]she jumped back in![/I]!" I couldn't help but laugh out loud when he said that! That is exactly what I did and she did jump back in. That old fog of feeling sorry for my daughter is so strong, it is so helpful to have SO there to remind me of the truth. [/QUOTE]
