[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 641812, member: 13542"] I could make that exact same comment MWM, even thinking I was adopted and my real parents would come for me! I started my own healing process in the 7th grade because I "knew" something was very wrong with my family. AND it was not only a lot of hard work to learn how to be "normal" it turned out to be my [I]life's[/I] work. With 22 years of active therapy, hundreds of workshops, books, teachers, spiritual counselors.......endless searching for the truth, I made a turnaround and life changed dramatically, as yours did. Mental illness, conduct disorders and/or mental or emotional anomalies that run in families are exceedingly challenging to overcome, but not impossible. Now when I look behind me, I see the very fertile ground in which I grew to be who I am, all those agonizing lessons.......... in particular the more recent ones with my daughter taught me the most valuable lessons of my life.....detachment, allowing, non judgement and acceptance, which, as you know, changes ones life in every possible way.......... for the better. Getting there is a strange and arduous journey.......and yet, at this vantage point, all of that suffering was a gift which lead to a miraculous recovery. [/QUOTE]
