[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 614809, member: 13542"] Thank you Cedar, it means a lot to feel the acknowledgement of my 'progress' from another wounded, warrior Mom. Yes, I hear the ringing of the crystal and it makes me smile............... That distinction between enabling and loving kindness was a huge help to me too, because it really assisted me in immediately knowing when I was enabling.........I was able then to stop before I engaged in the old behavior. My daughter wrote me an email later not mentioning the former conversation at all, but telling me she loves me. Hmmmmmm. She may indeed not come on Christmas, but I'm okay with it, it'll be fine either way. Feels good to feel that too, to not have an attachment to the way I think it "should" be. I laughed when I read that your son said he would send the money back. Our kids can sure take martyrdom to great heights, can't they? Geez. You sound better Cedar, like some burden has been lifted off of you. Is that true? Having said NO to your son has freed you and husband a little? How are you about your daughter? Is she coming back to Florida with you? Sending you a big smile and good thoughts............ [/QUOTE]
