[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 657504, member: 17461"] Wow. I bookmarked it and will send it to daughter and son. Daughter will read it, or maybe she already knows. She has been through so much therapy. Son will ~ I never do know what son is going to do with these things I find helpful. Laugh at me probably, or stop talking to me again for a million years. Thank you for posting the link, SWOT. I liked that they posted things we might try once we identify our roles. I liked it too, that the difference between a functional and a dysfunctional family was not that the roles were there, but that fluidity between the roles had evaporated in the face of traumatic life events. That makes sense to me; I can apply it easily to how things went from bad to worse to the point that no one could hear anyone else. It also give us a kind of a map for how things will look as the rigidness of the roles dissolves and fluidity is available to the family again. Maybe that explains why, when we believed we were losing our daughter, all tht mattered was to hear her voice, and to laugh with her and just be ourselves. No fear. The worst thing was happening, and all I knew then was that none of the things that had seemed so important mattered. Only she did, and I was so happy to have had her in my life. Great article. Thank you, SWOT. Cedar [/QUOTE]
