[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 632808, member: 17269"] JKF, we can honor your feelings...everything from the honest attempt to remove yourself emotionally by doing things you enjoy, to snapping at the ones who love and care for you, to the agitation and exhaustion. You are right..the only thing left is to lean in, and do the next right thing. That is all we can do. It is disheartening to feel like we are thrown back to the beginning by something, big or small, that our difficult child does. It feels like all our hard work has been lost...but it hasn't been. We are here to testify to that. Getting back to the healthy place gets easier. It sounds like you know that. Do what you have planned to do. Continue to do the things that enrich you. And make some space to lean in, to help the feelings go on their way. Let them rest with you a bit so that they can then move on. My heart is with you tonight. The dawn will come soon enough, I promise. Echo [/QUOTE]
