[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 626810, member: 17461"] Great advice. This kind of thinking sets the parameters and gets us out of that stuck spot we get into when we get that call from the jail. Those calls always knock me into an alternate reality for a little while. I have to remind myself of all the tools I have now to survive and to reclaim this time. There were times when I would be so focused on difficult child daughter that I literally don't remember much of anything but that shocky, out of touch with reality feeling where you can't believe this is happening to your little girl. And when I did pick up in time to actually talk to her? She was invariably so inebriated she hardly made sense, at all. True. Maybe, this will turn out to be the best thing that could have happened. He is safe. There is nothing you can change until Monday. Maybe a massage, as Recovering suggested. When I practice self care in the face of a crisis? I can recover a sense of perspective. Holding a good thought for you, JKF. Cedar [/QUOTE]
