[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 705131, member: 18958"] When I identified stages in women's recover, after the crisis stage and whatever came before it, ta da, came "letting go." That is the step I have never allowed myself to get past. All those years ago, do you think I discovered "detachment" somehow anticipating my very life, and the great need I would have 35 years later? Yet be unable to embrace? Shame or hubris? She discovered detachment, yet lacked the integrity or strength to employ it in her own life. Because to not fall on one's sword is the REAL courage. Here we have been, each of us, believing somewhere in us, ([I]I think it is genetic, a built in mechanism so that we do not abandon our babies.) [/I]that we are saving our families as we heroically go to battle to protect our 30 year old, 40 year old babies--our fight, our enemies, ourselves. [/QUOTE]
