[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 663839, member: 18516"] My perspective on this is it's good thing. It's like when we clean out a closet, we take everything out so it's empty, nothing exists in the closet. Now, we look around and we pick and choose what will go back into the closet. We pick only things that are useful and we carefully put them back into the closet. Now, there is still some empty space in the closet and now we get to find new stuff to put in the closet. Just as with our "closets" it's good to do and inventory of ourselves at least once a year. Check to see what fits, what might need a minor repair and what needs to go. It is in our nature to be givers, nurturers, selfless. These are wonderful qualities to posses and I'm grateful for them. I am also grateful for the lessons I learned while dealing with my son and all his chaos. I learned that I am stronger than I ever thought possible. I learned it's okay to no. I learned it's okay to put myself first. I am better equipped to discern what I will or won't allow into my life. It has been quite a journey and many times I was not sure I would make it as the path became so dark and the storms were violent but I made it. Because of all that I have been through in my life I know I am so much better equipped to handle whatever is down the road. So, here's to cleaning out those closets and having a fresh start!! :beautifulthing: [/QUOTE]
