[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 661988, member: 18958"] Lioness, where ever you go I hope you keep posting. I think I will leave here where I live too. At least for awhile. To a place where there are things that I love to do. A big City with all kinds of people. That is what I like. I have always loved Greece although I have never been: The food, the terrain, the culture and people. The white houses on the Islands or in the Mountains to the North. This would be a good choice I think. It would be choosing for you, giving yourself what you need. And I would be choosing for me, if I left here. To make a new and different life. Of course we can never leave our children really. But I think it would be good for your daughter, too. She would have to face herself and her choices. She could no longer deal with her own emotions by targeting you or manipulating you. She would have to face herself. You would no longer be there. We have to move beyond this horrible pain. My culture is similar to yours in how we are as mothers. My Mother was atypical. We love our children with a fierce intensity. I think part of my son's difficulty is this. Now that he is an adult he has trouble living without the strength and protection that my love has given him. He must handle this. I cannot. Now it is time that I give that love to myself. You too, Lioness. I hope you do it, Lioness. I hope you go to Greece or somewhere equally lovely and nourishing. And I hope I go where I need to, too. Thank you. PS You would not, I think, be abandoning your other children. [/QUOTE]
