[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 681431, member: 18958"] This is what gives this struggle power for good, that it wakes up all of the past trauma--and gives us another chance to resolve it. I was not so lucky. I kept going while things got tough with my son, but then when I quit work to care for my mother as she died, I could not any longer keep going. It took years. But I see now, even being felled so completely has been a huge opportunity, because I have been able (with the help of this site) to really look at how I have lived my life...and get perspective. Not all suffering is bad. Some of it is learning that just feels bad. I look at what is happening to your daughter in this same way. She will have an opportunity (if she takes it) to know herself in a way few do. She will have the opportunity if she takes it to really choose who she becomes, not just slip slide along. You, too, will find yourself changed. Not just bruised and battered, but awake and determined, too. That is what I think. COPA [/QUOTE]
