[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 610361, member: 1721"] accmama, this is where you get to practice your new detachment skills. Once we have given the best advice we know, we have to somehow be able to turn off that worried place. If we let ourselves, our brains will circle and circle around the same issues, looking for a better solution. Under everything we do, even when we try to sleep, we find we cannot let go of that worried feeling. Sometimes, it helps to tell yourself you will worry about this again in fifteen minutes, but that for right now, you are going to let it go. In the thick of things, even fifteen free, breathable minutes can mean so much. If you awaken at night worried about her ~ or even, as a way to cope with daytime worries, the Serenity Prayer helps. You need to read it until you feel it working. I know you probably know it, but I will post it here for you, anyway. 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. Do you think your daughter is trying to decide whether she did the right thing in going into the shelter? Maybe, that is what is beneath her complaints? Cedar [/QUOTE]
