[QUOTE="Overwhelmed1, post: 756795, member: 24921"] It's very hard even when you feel you are making headway for yourself. Pulling back is tough because deep down we love the people that are so determined to destroy the family unit. I am learning to change my reactions to disappoints I face daily. It isn't easy and it sure doesn't feel good but I know it needs to be done. There are so many things I struggle with when it comes to my children and grandchildren. I find taking the time to evaluate the situation and my response has helped. I would let emotions determine my responses, now I stop and think, what is best for EVERYONE involved. Come to find out, I have been letting my emotions keep the norm going instead of taking steps to get my norm back. By this I mean changing the norm for me. I can't change anyone but maybe by letting my children and grandchildren see that this way of living is not my norm, they will either follow or pull farther away, their choice. By living my norm, I am happier and in a better place. Still not always easy. Like in your case, I can feel your heartache and I am saddened to hear you are being put in this difficult situation by someone you love so much. Praying for your situation to get better. Peace and Love [/QUOTE]
