[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 601106, member: 13542"] You made me laugh, yes, we certainly can have a few setbacks on our way to being healthy and disengaged from our children's lives! I totally get the dread, you've been accustomed to a certain mindset, it becomes your normal, changing that back, resetting that point, takes some doing, let me tell you! I have a lot of help Barbara, I feel like I need it to push me over that old mountain of drama my entire family brought to my door. You've had literally decades of this stuff with your son and daughter, it's only natural that it's going to take some re-training on our parts. Chocolate works! Massage, acupuncture, yoga, therapy, groups, exercise, going to the gym, facials, manicures, long drives far from town, going to the beach, reading a good book, writing, dinners out, hacking around with friends, long walks/hikes.............you know, LIVING! It's taken a big commitment for me to shift my life focus away from the 'other' and onto myself, it's like a rusty old door that requires oil and movement to get back in the smooth swing once again...............one step at a time, each day closer to our own lives, our own dreams and adventures..............Barbara, [B][COLOR=#800080][I]may the force be with you![/I][/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
