[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 634485, member: 18284"] MWM -- Thanks for your kind words. It's definitely a toughie at times. Like I said, my head wraps around it easily, but my heart still has that tug-of-war at times. Today was such a time. I'm new to this group, but not new to this concept (of detaching). Years in the making, I do better with detaching than I used to. But every now and then it can jump up and bite me in the tookas when I'm not looking! LOL! Today definitely did. But, then my sage of a husband came home and I told him my heart. He said, "Do you remember our last visit with him in May?" Well..........uh.......yeah. Blech. Not fun. So that helped. Sage hubster. You said some really good stuff in there and I appreciate you sharing more of your story. Like you, I, also, am surrounded by much love in a very loving husband, family and friends. And you're so right on the money about loving ourselves -- taking the time to ask ourselves what WE want to do. Getaways like our Canadian biking getaway last weekend are so rejuvenating. Gladly, we're out of state next weekend for a college football game at our alma mater (Go Ducks!) and seeing friends. It is so very important to live OUR lives! :) I hear your strong heart, MWM, and I appreciate it and you! Best sentence in your post? "difficult child's suck all the air out of our world..." True that! [/QUOTE]
