[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 663394, member: 17461"] Ilanya Van Zandt writes that we all have a "story". She likens the self-defeating stories to an addiction we are as enamored of as an addict is enamored of all things having to do with his addiction. In different words, she says the same thing Eckhart is telling us. I am not exactly sure how to balance needing to see my past from a different perspective versus just watching the story roll past without investing emotionally in it. I think what I see here on the site is that those of us with disheartening childhoods pulled our lives together admirably but were rebroken when our kids were endangered. I wonder whether I would have been that stronger mom I am always posting about if I had addressed those broken places instead of surmounting them. I do agree with what Eckhart says. I just think he has never been mom to a self destructing child. It is impossible to just let go of, or to somehow incorporate, the terrible things we come to know with such intimacy. Cedar For me, today, it is, anyway. [/QUOTE]
