[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 752497, member: 23405"] ChickPea, There is a certain void, at first, that we experience when we stop "enabling". After all, think of how much time is monopolized, pondering, wondering, fretting, anxiously wondering how they are surviving. It is mentally and emotionally exhausting. Even doing something new, like re-focusing our thoughts and attention on something else can cause anxiety. But that's ok because at least we're working towards a season of peace and healing. We can begin to learn new ways to cope and function once we stop putting all our attention on adults children. Often, we feel guilty because we haven't used up every minute of the day thinking about them. This too will subside and we become healthier minded, in time. The void is up to you how you want to fill it. That should be exciting to think about what you will do. Read more, walk outside, join a club of your interest or a support group etc.. The point is, it allows us the time to rejuvinate, refresh and strengthen our weary hearts and minds that have become so depleted. God wants us to live full joy filled lives. I'm still working on that but am in a better place having turned my sons over to God. [/QUOTE]
