[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 620201, member: 13542"] The back and forth of it all is exhausting for us parents WF. That's why we have to get off this roller coaster and get back on our own stable ground. If we ride along with them, we are never in control of our own lives..........you've gotten off the roller coaster and for a little while you still have that shaky feeling where your knees can buckle underneath you. Years ago I took an art class where the facilitator told us to put our judgments in a little box right outside the classroom door. She said it was hard to be creative when the voice of judgement was always present attacking us. When I was in the deep throes of my 'stuff' with my daughter, I had an imaginary little box where I would put my daughter for parts of the day...........where she was safe in the hands of God and I would go about my day. I could open that box anytime (often the top flew off on it's own!!) but it helped me. Hang in there WF, keep that umbrella close and enjoy this day of LOVE. Celebrate all we have to be grateful for............ [/QUOTE]
