[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 618581, member: 13542"] Echolette, congratulations, great post..............I couldn't read it fast enough to find out what you did!! Good for you! As Cedar mentioned, when we can tell them OUR truth, it lifts the fog out of our sight and we can see clearly and now that we told the truth and got that all out of our system, out of our minds and hearts.................[I]we are liberated. [/I]I totally believe that to be the truth. In all areas of life, not just with our difficult child's.................but here is where we've really driven that point home. There were various steps I took along those lines with my daughter..............each step with more and more truth in it. I wrote her a long email about a month ago and it was what I always wanted to say to her..............how it felt to be her mom, all the pain I was in, what that felt like, how difficult she is to love, how as her mother, even I wanted to distance myself from her antics................but all said with love and compassion, I was passed the anger and resentment of all of it and I believe I had accepted it................and then I got to calmly say what was in my heart. She may not even have read it, it didn't matter, I had to get those words out of me...........it was immensely freeing. Great job Echolette. I'm sure you are feeling a lot calmer now. [/QUOTE]
