[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 758533, member: 18958"] Trying. Your job as I see it is to stay in the present. Right now. This moment. And to stay in yourself and in your life. Not his. Who knows what will be when he gets out of treatment? That is his job to figure out, not yours. Right now is for you to think about how you feel, what you will think and what you will do. That's a full time job for most of us, who have neglected outselves, our feelings, our bodies, our lives. We become so estranged with ourselves we have to schedule a "meet and greet." There are so many things that can be done. There are online meditation groups. (I do one within my faith.) There are online yoga classes. There is internet therapy, now. There is yoga online. There are art classes. There are religious services. Are you a reader? Do you do needlework? Do you like to walk? What do you like to do? What in the past has brought you joy, a moment's escape? Why not introduce you to us? Tell us who YOU are. Please. These things can move much more slowly than we would want, than we expect. Now is your time. NOW. [/QUOTE]
