[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 630137, member: 14865"] COM, just saying hi and checking on my friends here. It sounds like you're doing an astounding job at coping with situations anyone would find overwhelming. The brave words from you, Recovering, Cedar, Albatross, and the other mainstays here touch me in places deep within. I needed to read posts telling of strength & bravery today. I had a rough week with difficult child due to her poor judgment and naive outlook. Twice. Once from her inability to see that when she naively trusts guys to "respect" that she has a boyfriend overseas & invites them over as "pals", they probably don't see it that way and then there is trouble when she rebuffs them. And once from a costly scam while looking for a new apartment mate. In my case, the binding ropes of difficult child's battle with bipolar demons and recent suicide attempt constrict me. I felt this week that I was caught in that noose, with subsequent tightening the more I mentally struggled to deal with difficult child's maddening lack of judgment & immaturity. If not for the reminders here to BE PRESENT IN THE MOMENT, the terrors that might occur in the future would surely cause me to wriggle until the noose took its toll. Thanks, all. Blessings and peace this day! [/QUOTE]
