[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 602018, member: 13542"] I'm glad you're finding value in the article on detachment. I see what you mean and it seems to make more sense the way you are stating it. However it is stated though, the irrational thinking is that somehow we end up being responsible, that something we do or don't do will determine the fate of another human being. That illusion of control is what keeps us stuck and what keeps us from recognizing our true powerlessness over the choices of another. I understand the thinking that the sheer force of our will can save them ..........it that were the case, and believe me I have often wished it were, there would be no need for this forum because every one of us would have pulled our difficult child's straight out of wherever they are...................but..........we are here...........hang in there.........hugs......[COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
