[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 627678, member: 17461"] This is heartbreakingly true. During the worst of it, I always wondered whether I would make it, whether I would ever be okay, again. I wondered whether I would ever be able to trust, or to believe in happiness again. Though it will take time jeanne in Ca, you will be okay. Hang on to that. Though none of us knows what that process will look like for her or how long it will take, each of us, here on the site, does know there will be resolution. We do come to grips with what happened to us and to our children. We do reclaim our selves, and we reclaim our lives. You will survive this. You will be happy again. You will be able to trust and to be strong and centered, again. One day, this will all be something bad that happened, but it will be in the past. I was so broken, at one point, that I wasn't sure I believed anything would ever be alright, again. But I am better, stronger now, jeanne in Ca. And there will come a time when you can look back at everything and say that, too. There is something Recovering calls the FOG. It is when we are in emotional overload and we get frozen in place. It helps to have a name for that feeling. It helps to remember that it will pass. It is best to acknowledge when we are in it, and to make no decisions until we are centered in ourselves, again. I think one of the key things we learn from one another, here on the site, is how to recognize emotional overload for what it is, and how to harbor and replenish our strength. Cedar [/QUOTE]
