[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 599620, member: 1721"] I have been so frustratingly, blindingly angry at difficult child lately. Of course, that alternates with kicking myself around. Or the ever-popular taking it out on husband. :O) I so needed to be reminded of the stages of grief. Sometimes, I feel so stuck. Maybe what it is is that, as I begin moving on, leaving difficult child behind or really feeling the anger I've repressed, I feel more guilt. Not to make your post all about me (again!) Recovering. But you do have a way of wording things which so exactly describes what I am trying to figure out. I feel like a conqueror, making my way across the field of battle. How does that old saying go? For this respite, much thanks For 'tis bitter cold, and I am sick at heart. Something like that. I'm such a drama queen! But it feels so good to have been reminded that we ARE going through a process, a hard one. Thinking it is always going to feel like this could do a person in. It's important to remember, Recovering, just as you said, that perception is key ~ and that the way we perceive a thing is one of the few things we actually have any say in, at all. And that what we concentrate on expands. I really liked that. Barbara [/QUOTE]
