[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 746867, member: 19522"] Thank you Copa. I think we need recovery as much as they do. I feel I owe it to Tornado, as much as do I owe it to myself, to not let her manipulation, gas lighting and blame throwing infect me. That’s what it does, [I]when I let it. [/I]It is a sad fact that I need to build up my toolbox and armor to withstand the machinations of my own adult child. But, it is truth. Until she faces her own addiction and wants change, I will be a target. Only if I allow myself to be one. That is unacceptable, to be slain at the hands of my own flesh and blood. It is true what you write about what difference would it make, if they knew this pain we carry. It is up to us to gird our loins for the battle, that battle is to come into our own, no matter come what may with them. That is not indifference or lack of love for our wayward adult children. It is survival. I still believe that strengthening ourselves, is the greatest way to show our love for them. Keep on keeping on warrior sister. Thank you so much for all of your heartfelt truths shared throughout your posts. You have helped me tremendously, I am deeply indebted to you for your honesty, wisdom and kindness. Leafy [/QUOTE]
