[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 552815, member: 9175"] It's very much worth a try, Crazy. it might be especially useful since we are clashing over the jobless thing right now. Our energies could certainly be better (more constructively) spent. CJane, I really needed to read your post. I remember the Patty Duke thing very well (and the irony of her having portrayed polar-opposite twins for so many years). I haven't read her book, but I will put it on my library hold list. The reason I need to read about her is that I have to work especially hard right now to marshall my empathy. The situation with my daughter is very frustrating for me, but she is the one who is living it. I know she is scared and confused and I know she needs more compassion than judgement. Going to FA meetings is helping me to work out the kinks of showing compassion while still keeping my boundaries and learning NOT to enable. It's a slippery slope, to say the least. I'm so glad I have this place where I can vent about the rollercoaster. It's been a heck of a ride so far this week. We've all been there at one time or another. Dash [/QUOTE]
