[QUOTE="WearyMom18, post: 653578, member: 18856"] I am, somehow, doing really well all things considered. Ever since I joined the forum and began working on detachment and learning how to accept that I cannot control her or her life including the consequences she will suffer I have been so much stronger than I ever thought I could be. It seems strange to me though, that I haven't broken down and cried or felt a deep depression that I have felt many times before. I used to feel such deep desperation and sadness that I thought I would lose my mind. I've called in sick and stayed in bed all day before and I've been so bad that my husband thought I was going to lose it. For whatever reason, this go-'round, I feel stronger but sadly more callous towards my daughter and her life. I keep expecting the hurt to come rushing in and knock me down. I am doing my nails again, which I love doing myself and I'm crafting again which I also love but I have in the back of my mind that by doing these things I'm pushing my emotions down and eventually they will fester up and come out. Maybe I'm wrong, it hasn't happened yet, I kind of feel like 'out of sight, out of mind'. Maybe I've just never been this sure of what I'm doing before and this is my confidence and strength surfacing. Whatever it is, I'm surviving and I'm doing pretty darn good I think. I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing...seems to be working for now. [/QUOTE]
