[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 601105, member: 77"] I think pasajes4 hit the nail on the head: "It is hard to let go of the angst" she said. My difficult child has been on the other side of the world for two and a half years. He seems to be living a normal life, working and supporting himself and sharing an apartment with another guy, cooking food that he sends us photos and films of on Wattsapp in real time, and all sorts of positive things. And yet, and yet, I still cannot relax completely in relation to him. It's true that in our home there is much more peacefulness, you can't compare it, but still I feel that threatening feeling somewhere deep in the background of my mind and my heart. Barbara, I hope and pray for you that it will continue and you will be able to find peace vis-a-vis your daughter and that she will leave this awfully bad period in her life far behind her. I think something like Tai Chi is great, and you really should throw yourself back into that sort of stuff. I think I would like to start learning and doing Tai Chi or yoga. But give yourself time, a lot of time, for finding inner peace. I don't want to sound too pessimistic. I can honestly say that after two and a half years, I miss that child. It took a long time, but I miss him. For a very very long time I was just grateful to the powers-that-be that he was very very far away. I am planning a trip to Australia (in January, I think. I hope to meet Marg then and Marg's Man). I wonder what it will be like to spend three whole weeks with him. My thoughts and my heart are with you, Barbara. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
