[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 673990, member: 19522"] Hi SWOT, You are here, and it is good. I have an odd feeling of numbness towards my sister. I have been through the same sort of swirly whirly with her, similar to what I feel with my d cs. I love her, still, I feel a sort of danger in re-connecting with her, for the time being. So right now, I do not contact her. I used to very often, I am not shunning her, just taking time to re-group. It is the same with my Tornado. She is my daughter, but obviously to me, she does not have the same affection and love for me, as I do her. So, again a disconnect has occurred. For the time being. Life is constantly shifting and changing, I do not look at things as "forever". I do not think this unhealthy, to feel "nothing" I think it is ourselves stepping in, to form a "bubble". I call this bubble inner peace. When our own family members by blood, are damaging to us, I think it is okay to withdraw from their company. It is not shunning, it is self protection. We can still hold love for them, but we are aware of the potential danger, and take measures and steps to protect ourselves, as we should. This is what I am thinking this morning, as the roosters are crowing and the dawn is full of birdsong. Well, that means I have to go to work. Ahem. Thank you Serenity. Your thoughts are much appreciated and cherished. Peace be to you (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
