[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 160959, member: 3353"] Oh, Witz ~ you are right about that! I remember when I was so fixated on difficult child that the only way I could stop the thoughts was to mentally shout "STOP". And it WAS hard. I had to go so far as to prepare myself for the "STOP" command by thinking, ahead of time, what I was going to replace the thoughts with. I used the Serenity Prayer. That helped me to understand that I could put the thoughts away and that, if ever there were something I could do for him, I would know. Here it is again for you, Susan. God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference. Very good advice, Witz! :) Barbara P.S. It helped me too, Stands, to light a white votive candle for my son, when I was so worried about him that I couldn't pull myself away. Something about the flame and the white candle was so calming.... [/QUOTE]
