[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 764212, member: 19522"] Thank you so much for your kindness Fairy dust. My time here on CD has taught me so much. As I respond to parents suffering while navigating loving their addicted adult children, I am reinforcing what I have learned along the path towards avoiding the rabbit hole. I’m talking to myself, too. I so need that reinforcement. This journey has never been a linear process, I am finding that somehow, when it seems the dust has settled a bit, my two will pop up out of nowhere, like some sort of bizarre test. Each encounter is a reset for me. Each disappearance is a reset for me. One of the admin here who I haven’t “seen” for quite sometime, aptly named herself “recoveringenabler”. I think, like our addicted loved ones who battle drug use and recovery, we will always have to work really, really hard at focusing on self love, dealing with the grief of loving someone who is still on this earth and resisting the urge to go deeply into an emotional abyss. I am not so wise my friend, just seasoned with the many years and challenges of living the predicament of children grown to adulthood making horrid choices. I give credit where it belongs, to the many strong souls here who have opened up honestly and vulnerably to share their stories, hardships and growth. I am eternally grateful to God for helping me and also to those angels on earth who have left us an abundance of knowledge and coping mechanisms to rise above the challenges. Wherever any of us are on this journey, may we all find our way towards peace. It is extremely difficult, but one day at a time, if we work hard at it, we can. (((Hugs))) New Leaf [/QUOTE]
