[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 618134, member: 13542"] I spent time being really angry too Echolette. And, being very sad too. I cried a lot. I used to walk and stomp my feet just to get the anger out of my body. I was so disappointed and resentful all at the same time...................it was really, really hard. When I look back on it, there really are steps one needs to take a midst all the suffering we do.....one step forward, a few steps back..........but little by little we really do wake up and walk out of that FOG of feelings............we have to address the reality of the situation and feel what we feel...........change the way we respond..................as Wayne Dyer says, "change the way you look at things and the things you look at change." That was my experience. It was really all up to me. My difficult child is pretty much the same, however, I changed immensely and she is very different with me. I don't suffer over my difficult child anymore. I was determined to bring peace and joy back into my life. Here in my office I have a little sign that says, "Inner peace begins the moment you [U]choose[/U] not to allow another person or event to control your emotions." That is my mantra. It works too. Like they say in the 12 step groups, "it works if you work it." [/QUOTE]
