[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 721197, member: 19290"] So Ready, I think you've summed up what all of us feel at times. That detachment or self-preservation is somehow choosing ourselves over them. But that's a false paradigm even for them. When you choose "them," or to stay in the FOG, they are none the better. When you choose to clear the FOG, they don't get worse, they just don't have someone to cosign their misery. It is not we who are not choosing them. It is they who are not choosing themselves. And they always have the ability and opportunity to choose themselves. It's not less likely because we refuse to suffer vicariously and enable, on top of the grief and worry. And most would say it makes it more likely. [/QUOTE]
