[QUOTE="Bean, post: 408513, member: 8620"] Thanks for sharing all of that 4timmy. There is a lot in there that makes sense to me and I can identify with. I, too, wasn't so easy on my parents when I was growing up. But I did spare them the gory details, something my daughter doesn't seem to want to do with us. Sometimes I wonder if she feels that we should endure some pain with her. That we should not be allowed to be exempt from it. The scary/sad thing is that what she tells me, I know, is only the tip of the iceberg. It is difficult not to let the imagination slip into unimaginable scenarios. Dashcat, you articulated so well. I was feeling SO alone the other day, telling my husband I had nobody but him to talk to about this because it just isn't the reality for anyone I know. Thank goodness for the ability to come here and find some shared experience. I've utilized Al-Anon, too, and have been encouraging my parents to do the same. Last week I painted my toenails. A reminder to myself that I need to continue to do things, beyond the necessary, to be good to ME so I can be good to others. [/QUOTE]
