[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 634526, member: 17461"] Dash, I'm here, too. What is happening IS horrifying. But Dash, there is no action for you to take. Not right now. Now is the time when you search out the tools and the skill sets that will help you survive. There was a time when I had to choose to survive too, Dash. When the feelings of horror and loss, of regret and that burning, overwhelming, crazy-making sense of resentment or rage or whatever it was would take me over. When it first started happening, I had no defense. Then, I learned I could resolutely pronounce the word NO. I could put those overwhelming feelings into an airtight compartment to be examined when I was strong enough. It is what it is. When you can act, you will. Right now what you need to do Is to make a clear, cold, determined decision to survive. Literally Dash, when there are grandchildren Involved, there is no other way to get through it but by an act of will. As COM posts to us, we need to envision a tool box. Open it, Dash. The tool you need to survive this time will be right on top. You don't know it yet, but you are more than strong enough. And we are all right here. Cedar [/QUOTE]
