Hi Newstart,
Thank you very much for your prayers and kind thoughts.
It is hard, but also part of this journey. I have come to understand that it may take several stints at rehabs for recovery, and relapse is quite common. Sigh. It is still hard.
I don’t think I will ever completely “detach” from any of my children. I would be fooling myself to think that possible. I can go no contact, stop enabling, but I will always feel a connection.
I am feeling a bit better, thank you Newstart. I am so glad I didn’t break anything! That would have been awful!
I had a terrible thing happen to my hens two years ago. Loose dogs in the neighborhood got into my coop and killed them. It was awful and I haven’t the gumption yet to start anew. I miss them and their yummy eggs. (Good Lord I feel like “Calamity Jane”)
Thank you so much Newstart for your prayers. I do believe prayers are very powerful. I pray for peace and joy in your life.
Hugs
