[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 605404, member: 13558"] I'm glad you are doing so well RE! I found it to be a struggle to accept what I can not control. My difficult child has been NC for almost a year and it has been bittersweet. I have taken the time to focus on my spiritual, physical, and emotional metal health. Things I could not have done with the constant daily stress of a full fledged difficult child. in my opinion, the hardest part for many of us is trying to figure out where we went wrong and what we should have done better. Which really doesn't make much sense as we certainly can't change the future. During the past year I have accepted myself as a flawed human being and have forgiven myself, and surprising to me, forgiven so many people I felt had wronged me in the past. Like you, the more I practiced my decision to no long be an enabler, some people in my life drifted away. It was difficult for me at first, but now I am much happier, after I finally gave myself permission to say no. The world is not a perfect place and I wish us all peace on our journey. Enjoy your grand's senior year and plans for your retirement. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
