[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 679054, member: 19905"] JMom - It was your very first post that helped this "newbie," bringing me to tears. For me, I can sit back and objectively look at others' situations and see what seems obvious, because I am not emotionally invested. It is very cathartic. And when my own situation is overwhelming and I get wrapped up in the fear, guilt, obligation, shame...others come in, gently reminding me and pointing out the things I cannot see because I am too close to it, too emotionally invested, too hurt, too afraid. They guide me back to a safe place of thinking, feeling, and action without reacting to my mother instinct and continuing the cycle of rescue-hope-disappointment-pain that has been my life for a very long time. This place has been a lifeline for me, and you threw out the first one without even knowing it. :angel: [/QUOTE]
