[QUOTE="Blindsided, post: 751312, member: 23811"] I appreciate your sharing. It's important to me to be reminded, as a peacemaker and caregiver to put myself first. I even wrote for a local nursing magazine years ago on how important it is, because so many nurses are vulnerable. Yet, with my daughter I allowed myself to become paralyzed? I am finally waking up. Thank you for sharing all you do. I posted one of my favorite quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe in another thread. "When you get into a [B]tight[/B] place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not [B]hang[/B] on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the [B]tide will turn[/B]." We cant be prepared for the tides turn unless we hold on tight to our own sanity. How can we ask our children to do this if we dont do it for ourselves? I was losing the strength of my convictions by letting my daughter control MY narrative until I joined this group. I will be forever be grateful. [/QUOTE]
