[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 724677, member: 19522"] Oh Albie, you have endured much as well. This is an interesting quote. It is akin to the thought that if we don't properly love ourselves, we cannot love others. Setting healthy boundaries. You know, I am one of those people who has a bad habit of saying yes, when I really should say no. IF I have learned anything from this long hard journey, it is that love says no. I think it is as much for our d cs, as it is for us, that they should not continue to tread upon their parents as rugs. Hopefully, it will teach them, to work towards their own self care, and self respect. To not tread upon themselves with the choices they make. Me, too, Alb, me too. Tornado is somewhere in there. I am so thankful that my grands do have a place to be with their paternal grandparents. It is not possible for me to take them in, okay, well it is, but....... my son is my priority. I have had to set a boundary there, and it is not an easy one for me. He has endured so much, through all of this. It is my job to focus on getting him through high school. I cherish the moments we spend together, and realize that I could have very well lost him. He is nearing 17, and still likes to hang out with his mom. We are able to have heartfelt, deep discussions. I am so very thankful for that. Life is full of learning. I am thankful for my life. RE wrote that she cherishes every moment in her life, even the hard ones, well not in those exact words, but the tone is similar. Copa wrote in a post that there must be something for us to learn from our journeys in this, and I think that is so true. I am feeling much better today. Finding my way back away from the numbness, to gratitude. I will have setbacks, for sure, life can knock us down at times. I am so very thankful for your reaching out to me, and hope that all is well with you, Albie. As Kalahou says, we are going to be alright. (((HUGS))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
