[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 617663, member: 17461"] The hardest thing to do is to tell them true things, Recovering. You are such a great mother for this person. Patient, honest; strong, loving presence. No enabling. I have to be really careful about that enabling piece. I like to reread your postings. There is always something more for me. I remember you posting something about needing to focus on ourselves, not on everyone else, and not on anyone else. That must be where I am getting to, next. It is true that the identity I have created, the way I know myself, is through the grief and desperation of trying to save my kids. Whatever else I have done, that is who I have been. In wondering who I was before I had kids...there is my terminally abusive, don't-think-about-you-think-about-me mother. Cedar [/QUOTE]
