[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 754014, member: 24254"] Reading this book"Emotional blackmail" , it has exercises for you to do for a week before you get into the actual strategies of how to not fall prey to emotional blackmail . And one of these exercises is to state every day "I can stand it". We think we cannot stand our childrens' addictions, mental health issues, homelessness but the truth is we can. Every day, I also make self affirming statements such as : I am strong I am capable I am courageous I speak up for myself Etc It has helped me. None of my children have ever been homeless, so I don't want to make it sound like you can easily change how you feel about it by repeating affirmations , and I am not trying to make anyone's feelings invalid. If anyone is helped by the above strategies, great! [/QUOTE]
