[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 646503, member: 13542"] Tish, geez, you're in the PHD program of letting go.......staying in the moment and accepting what is. Yikes, I hate when that happens. However, you are painfully aware of needing to "stay in the present and just react to what happens." The ability to see that, is, in my opinion, often as good as it gets. And, you stay present, you've got your therapist, Al Anon, all your other tools and us. That's how we do it, one step at a time, one moment at a time, no slipping in to what happened and no slipping in to what could happen. Just right here. And I know it feels like you're hanging on with one tiny thread, but you're not, you're armed with knowledge, with conviction, with experience, with support and with presence. It doesn't sound to me that you're on the road to falling apart, I believe you have the presence now to stay in the moment and respond accordingly as things come up. As things come up, you can trust yourself to know how to respond. You've done it before with your grandson, you've done it with your son and you'll do it now again. You really are doing a good job Tish, you're aware, you're awake to what is.......the past does not dictate the future here. You will do really well........hang in there, keep breathing, use all your tools, and add a few more if you need to........you'll get through this. Big hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
