[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 32184, member: 3353"] Pamela, there are some books that might help, too. This first one has been suggested to me by Kathy 813. I have read all the blurbls on it, watched for it at bookstores, and requested it at libraries in two states ~ but so far? Cannot find it! It comes so highly recommended though, that I am going to pass that one on to you, too. One day, I will find it. The book is: Don't Let Your Kids Kill You by Charles Rubin. The other two books I am going to suggest I HAVE read, and have found them very helpful. The first is: The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans. This book is about relationship between male/female partners, but it describes the dynamic of the verbally abusive relationship and addresses recovery from the damaged self concept continual verbal abuse leaves us with ~ whoever the abuser is. The second book is The Power of Now by Eckhardt Tolle. Another good one is: Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnack I think it is important too for us to acknowledge that what has happened to our dreams and our children is tragic. The sense of loss needs to be taken seriously, not swept under the rug like it doesn't matter. I think we can be strong in spite of our situations, but that if we pretend to be strong, if we ignore the pain these kinds of situations with our children brings us, we will grow a brittle facade of a self that functions very well on the outside world but will crack wide open one day. We have to grieve our losses. Barbara [/QUOTE]
