[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 694363, member: 20051"] Oh, not your fault at all, Copa. by the way, I'm a nurse, too. I think that we are naturally caregivers in our DNA. I also think that makes it so much more difficult for us to detach because it is so ingrained in us to nurture and care for others. LOL, look at all my kids! I must be nuts. It is just, with my sister, and this is hard to put into words, but I think you, and most, will understand, I have built an emotional "wall" and I deal with her and her issues objectively. I can, generally, separate myself, emotionally. ...but you know, every once in a while there is that little thing that slips through that gives me a little cry. In the very back of my heart I hold this tiny hope that, some day, she will come back to me. Most of the time my head has accepted that this is who she is and always will be. I think it actually did me good to hear that there are people in the prison systems who care, who believe that under all these horrible life circumstances, that not everyone that makes it into the system is "bad" or unredeemable. I think your post was actually very helpful. [/QUOTE]
