[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 605196, member: 13542"] Thank you. [U]DJ-[/U] I wish you had a good support group or therapist too...........it's sure been helpful for me. Being around others experiencing the same things is very healing..........I wish that for you......... [U]CJ[/U]- I can't even tell you how much I've laughed about that [I]hair shirt[/I] thing you told me about. And, it was also a great phrase to stop the on-going thought process which I had outgrown but was so hard to let go of. Thank you for that image, it's been amazingly helpful. Sharon and Busywend, thanks for being cheerleaders for me in this "adventure" I've been on, it's so wonderful to have others be so supportive in such a difficult experience. Barbara, it's kind of a strange thing to say, however, along with many other feelings I have about my daughter, I feel grateful to her for '[I]forcing[/I]' me to be healthier and learn how to assert boundaries which keep the negative or toxic behaviors of others from harming me. I learned a great lesson...............how others behave is about THEM, not ME. I used to believe it was ME, that I did something wrong, that I had to take responsibility for the actions and behaviors of others.........that somehow I could change that..............realizing it is about [I]them[/I] and not [I]me [/I]is unbelievably liberating. Realizing that also helps heal that 'shame' Brene Brown speaks of in her book........... I appreciate all the good thoughts. I joined this forum about 2 months after I started the codependency program. All the support and guidance I received here, along with therapy, support groups and anything else I could utilize, gave me everything I needed to make the changes necessary to detach, accept, thrive and find my joy again. I have much to be grateful for. Thank you all. [/QUOTE]
