[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 704446, member: 17269"] Child, I always so value your posts! Good for you for taking the time to just be, and to be in your mind without going to a class, or reading, or journally excessively, but just to be with your mind and heart open. And your experience benefits us all! This is something I have really embraced in the last year or a little more. The path is unexpected. It is longer than you think. No matter what you think! This helps me. The story isn't told yet. RE, this is such a good summary...I didn't know I could say no. I would have a physical feeling of my heart sinking when some one asked me for something...time ("can we meet for coffee? want to go to a movie? can you pick me up?") moeny, advice, special treatment of any kind...because being asked was the same as HAVING to do it. The second I was asked I was stressed, because I was going to have to do what was asked of me. Always. By almost everyone, but especially those I loved. And no one really liked me more for it! IN fact, amazingly, they like me better now that I am a whole person with self respect. What a gift. As you said, a whole new relationship with myself and my children. This is a good conversation It gives us all strength and hope. Echo [/QUOTE]
