[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 640923, member: 13542"] Lucy, I'm sorry. I know how much those phone calls impact us. You're right of course, there is really nothing you can do, especially since you can't reach him anyway. And, yet...............our minds just leap right on into the anxiety and fear for them................those thoughts of fear are so difficult to let go of........... When I am in those impossible scenarios, what helps me is to remember that it's the thoughts that have hijacked you, nothing has happened, the thoughts have dragged you to that place............so I make every attempt to drag myself back from that thinking.........back to the present moment, where I can (most times) realize that right here in the NOW nothing has changed. Deep breathing helps too. I'm sorry about your ex father in law. On these kinds of days Lucy, do something especially nurturing and kind for yourself. Wishing you peace and sending a big hug.
