[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 621540, member: 17461"] There is a difference in your writing, Recovering. More a sense of curiosity about the process, and about yourself, than about what will happen next for your child. I remember so well that feeling of FOG, that overwhelming need to concentrate every bit of energy into a whirlwind to save the difficult child ~ and then, watching it all go down the drain. Just that. Watching it all, everything I'd said or done or thought, in that panicky, FOG place, trickle right down the drain. I remember beginning again, from some other direction. So crazed with it, everything so chaotic and pointless and useless. Instead of the FOG, you are centered, like the calm in the eye of the storm, Recovering. Aware. Sun filled. There is blue sky. Quiet. Carrying the quiet with you, in you, part of you. So this is what it is to know the opposite of FOG. These may be the final steps Recovering, to changing the generational pattern. If you see it in the sense of balance as opposed to the wild swing of yin/yang emotion...ah, of course you do. That is why you titled one of your last posts "A strange balance point." An amazing thing to have seen, to have been part of, Recovering. You've described it so beautifully. I can feel what it feels like, too. Cedar [/QUOTE]
