[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 632364, member: 17542"] I think this is key to better emotional health for us. Feel our feelings, whatever they are. Make time for it, and the aftermath. Don't do anything with the feelings, just feel them. I used to be afraid of letting myself feel my feelings, because they were so overwhelming. Keeping them pushed down was NOT GOOD for me. Also, I am now talking more directly to difficult child. I can be more matter of fact, and less emotional with him, because I am feeling my feelings---away from him---I am creating separation and distance between us, and I am simply being direct about ME. I am talking more about me and what I want and will do and won't do (as it is necessary) and why, instead of always him. He just called me. He is coming over to meet AAA to tow his car to a shop to have them ID the problem and either see about fixing it and/or selling it. He said he is applying for jobs. Still not living anywhere. Okay. Life goes on. [/QUOTE]
