[QUOTE="kat913, post: 731530, member: 22998"] Thank you so much recoveringenabler....it made me cry to know that I have truly found the right place "to softly land". I have learned to be "gently firm" with my kids (unlike what i was brought up in) but yes, my own sadness and grief has hit me pretty hard about 2 years ago (53 yrs old or so) and has helped me make some good decisions finally for myself. I have been in/out of therapy since I can remember as an adult because i am a strong believer in its benefit and the worst feeling I have been afraid to face is just that....sadness and grief. But little by little (trying privately but kids pick up vibes of not being same "strong" mother as before) I have let myself weep for all that I have been through both the sadness and the gratitude for my life and my children's regardless of the many troubles and the many blessings along the way. I honestly would not have it any other way....and that has taken a long time to see all the many benefits, blessings and miracles in our lives. Hope and optimism have always been my friend and a sense of humor is what keeps it all together (most of the time). Thank you for your strength, encouragement and gentle spirit. It has helped me and this is my first day here....thank you!! [/QUOTE]
