[QUOTE="addie, post: 567165, member: 140"] Hi again, and thanks for bringing us up to date on your turbulent life! *** what is happening re the cancer surgery? and congratulations to you on beginning a whole new career. That is really something. You loved what you did before and were so good at it, and dedicated to it. I know you will now throw yourself wholeheartedly into this new life. i am learning there is love, and there is attachment. Love is wonderful, total patient acceptance. But attachments cause suffering. It's hard to explain but it's sort of letting go, while still loving. Jess was here the other night and spoke quite openly about her love of marijuana. She also told of two violent incidents recently, then said (and the thing is she believes it) that she doesn't need anger management. i found I could love her and not react to the rest of it. I have found peace, re her. Maybe it's when they are adults? We still help her out, but never, ever with money. i am wondering, can you not have expectations of J? Because YOU get hurt, each time. i am so sorry about husband. isnt it wnderful that this board is here, after all this time, and we can always come back to it and find so many old friends? I was SO thankful when, like you, I needed to return. many, many thanks to those who maintain this soft place to land. You are much needed. i wish you peace, Rita! This has been an awful time for you, and I am sorry it has happened to you. What a strong person you are, though I am sure you don't feel like it some days. Hang in there, friend! [/QUOTE]
