[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 751784, member: 23405"] "I have also read some great books that are listed in my signature line." Blindsided. That's helpful of you to post books you've read. I've read some of the one's you listed but also would like to add a really terrific one that might help others here. It's a small book (139 pages) called "the approval fix" by Joyce Meyer. It's on how to break free from people pleasing" which is sometimes how we begin our enabling thinking we are "helping to please others" and then it becomes an unhealthy, obssessive behavior. I'm reading it for the 2nd time. It's fantastic! She describes my issues on enabling to the "t". For me it's really been on wanting the approval of my sons so badly that I heeded their every request/demand of me until I realize I'd turned into a crazy person. It made me realize if that's the way I have to get them to approve of me and think I'm a good mother, than it's not worth it. Also...love this "Sending "---" my love, so let go and let God. Why not send out our "love" the multitude of times we think of them throughout the day rather than "worry" into our hearts and into the world? So good. [/QUOTE]
