[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 646554, member: 18284"] RE --- All I can say is that we are similar in several of the ways you mention. I, also, asked myself how I would react in Frankl's situation. And I, like you, thankfully, have not had to find out. But, over time, I have learned this thing about myself (in general)......... While I may react unhealthily to many things at first, when given enough time (depends on situation...........with difficult child it took longer than any other thing I've experienced -- years!), I do come to a place where I am able to make wiser, healthier, more compassionate decisions with boundaries. I wonder what sorts of boundaries I might wish to have in Frankl's spot? I don't know. Maybe that boundary would be with myself........to shut down self-defeating thoughts before they had a chance to devour me. I don't know..... Or maybe it would be to double and triple whatever gratitude I could glean from each day and say it out loud ad infinitum. Not sure.... And my gratitude here is that I'm glad I'm not sure because I haven't had to face that! [/QUOTE]
