[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 591007, member: 14356"] Barbara - Thank you so much for those ideas. I think stopping and taking a moment to be mindful and centre ourselves is very important for us. It sounds like it would be just what I need - and I tried it while I was reading it. Stopped, took a deep breath, softened my face and eyes (which is especially important as the more stress I am under the more my Tourette's tics come out - and they're all facial) and felt much better. RE - You are so right. The Control we all think/thought we had is the illusion and realizing that is difficult to deal with. Especially when it comes to our kids. Buddha was a smart man - the only emotional pain we suffer is because of our attachments and, again, you are right, who are we more attached to than our children? I don't think even a father can understand the attachment a mother has to her children, even though they are his too. Yes, they love their children deeply but I think, for the most part, that mothers love their children and are more deeply attached to their children than a father can even begin to fathom. I read something somewhere that said a mothers love for her child is beyond anything else, after all, our children are the only ones who have heard our hearts beat from the inside of our body. That is not to minimize the love that a mother has for an adopted child because I believe that can be just as strong and deep as a biological child - it just struck a chord with me in emphasizing the power of that bond.
