[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 640668, member: 18366"] There is such a thing as grace, here is one dictionary description: disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency As in: when you know better you do better. At some point you are going to have to work on forgiving yourself to pull yourself out of the turmoil. With your daughter's diagnosis's there is no telling how long until you can have a somewhat "normal" interaction with her or even if that will ever happen. You might get moments here and there but at the end of the day it might also come down to all that you can do is to save yourself. Saving yourself and not allowing others to lay guilt trips on you can not only make your own life better but it may be a powerful example to your daughter in wanting to live well later in life. If you honestly feel you have not been a good example to your daughter in the past, work on being a good example now and in the future by showing her what a peace filled life looks like. You CAN do it. It will take it's time of course, no one changes overnight - but you get there by putting one foot in front of the other and moving in the direction you want to go. So just for today - forgive yourself for making a bad choice and today make a good choice FOR YOU! [/QUOTE]
