[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 617865, member: 17542"] I like what you said about being too empathetic. I was too empathetic in all of my relationships for most is my life, even before all of this with my difficult child. I needed more distance anyway between myself and other people. I needed to focus on my own self and my own life more. But as that was MUCH more uncomfortable and hard, I would quickly get back to somebody else. Today I am learning to sit still with discomfort, fear and uncertainty. To stay with it, let it pass through me and over me, and rest in it. I find if I can do that, whether for five minutes or longer, I can stay on my side of the street much better. [/QUOTE]
