[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar II, post: 118492, member: 4391"] Baby steps are good. Slowly but surely, we find ourselves in a better, healthier place. And when I first began using these phrases? It was so hard for me to say even the most innocent-sounding versions of "no". I would be as hurt by the bad things that happened to difficult child as he was, and always wanted to fix everything. I led from my heart, not my brain. These phrases (which I reviewed before I ever posted about the current potential situation with difficult child) have helped me find a beginning place to practice "no" ~ which is really the first, so hard step toward practicing detachment from outcome. I am so glad that thread was archived. Thanks, Suz. You have made such a difference for so many of us. Barbara [/QUOTE]
