[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 657231, member: 17542"] Tanya bless you and warm hugs. You are such a warrior mom. When I first started reading your post I was trying to remember how long I actually went at the worst points of not hearing from him at all. I don't think it was ever more than a month but I am not sure. I applaud your recovery in being able to detach enough to let much longer periods go by. I can only imagine what that has cost you and the many "dark nights of the soul" that you have experienced. I was talking with a friend who is going through a divorce. We were talking about the concept of the refining fire. Walking through a raging fire and being changed by it for the better. I believe this is a choice we make. We on this board....you Tanya...have and are still being honed by unimaginable fire. Fire most people never have to experience although pain In this life is not optional. We will all have so much pain. It is never welcome and never easy but if we are lucky we even get to the point when we see the refinement opportunities while we are still burning around the edges. We hurt and we can see ourselves from a slight distance hurting and growing at the same time. My heart hurts that you haven't heard from him and you are living with such beauty in such Terrible Uncertainty with such grace and compassion to offer other people. You are amazing. [/QUOTE]
