[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 665442, member: 13542"] Beautiful post Tanya, thank you. Your description of your journey through detachment is wonderfully stated and it was how it was for me as well. One step at a time through the FOG. One of my therapists described the FOG as the place we are when we cannot, or in some cases, will not, see the truth of our kids, that place of denial where we spend a lot of time trying to negotiate reality. I know for me, it was extremely difficult to actually[U] see[/U] the truth and [U]accept[/U] the truth..........as a Mom, I thought if I just loved her more, or did "something" more, I could change it, control it or fix it. Recognizing my powerlessness in the face of the truth was a big mountain to climb at various times......that FOG can be pretty dark. For me, having a guide, or a bunch of guides as it turned out, showing me the way out of that FOG helped me to shorten my time there. Having someone point to clarity, point to the truth, show me options and give me information and support, was invaluable. It's such a difficult path, I needed a village to get me through! Well done Tanya, thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. [/QUOTE]
