[QUOTE="Carolita2, post: 673638, member: 19632"] Hi Leafy, Having 2 Difficult Child's has got to be a challenge..I am glad that you were able to have a decent Thanksgiving even so. It must have been very painful to see her walk and to let her go. We are hard wired to care for our kids especially when we see them suffering. Glad you are getting some peace now. Actually, the thought of the suffering can reduce me to tears. Notice I say the thought of the suffering..Because the moment that I start crying may not even be a bad moment in my Difficult Child's life. I guess it's grief management and FEAR, which in Alanon we say is an acronym for FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. Trying to save grieving when there is a cause of which I am made aware. But I still go there somedays.. At other times, as you stated, I can be peaceful and calm, more often when there is no contact..as you are experiencing. What a dance we have to do...like dancing in a mine field sometimes.. My son refused to leave his apartment, no electricity, heat, gas. I am trying to live fully and take care if myself, just getting over flu and a pain in my head for days..I know I am run down. Trying to stay in today..Eviction will take a while they say..want to be in best physical health I can be.. Painting leafy...it helps..Are you doing your clay work? Thinking of you tonight and shooting you love, Carolita [/QUOTE]
