[QUOTE="Kathryn, post: 712157, member: 20947"] Recoveringenabler, Most days I am 'up and down' - and since I work full-time, that DOES help to direct my mind in different directions. I'm generally 'in trouble emotionally' when things are NOT real busy at work! Can't win, right? However, I am forcing myself to work on DETACHMENT - and it has almost become a mantra for me. Right now, with regard to my daughter, it's the 'calm before the storm' - which, of course, I'm always prepared for (And, as an 'adult child of an alcoholic', I'm very well versed in this constant roller coaster - sadly ;o( If only she could direct herself towards finding ANY sort of job, in order for her and her 7-yr old son to relocate (out of ex-boyfriend's house) into an apartment of her own. My heart aches so much for my little grandson. I know, everyone says he'll 'be fine', or 'he'll survive' . . . but it just so cruel and terribly unfair that such a young innocent cannot enjoy the security of a stable home life. So, again, I just wait and wait. However, with the encouraging words of "detachment", I am learning to fill my thoughts and days with more activities and goals relating to myself. As others have stressed, it just takes continued practice, focus and dedication. It is very encouraging to hear about your positive strides, and that you're now in a more peaceful and comfortable state of mind. Thank you for inquiring. Kathryn [/QUOTE]
