[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 750697, member: 18958"] Gosh I am sorry I missed your thread. I can only imagine the mixed feelings you have on so many levels, about your ex's illness, and about your children. I admire you so much in your decision to stand firm to have no role here; or responsibility. I want to share something that I am coming to believe. I wish I had ready a quote but I will look for it. I will try to convey what I understand. Suffering and destruction DO leave parts of us destroyed. I am more and more seeing this as carving out or hollowing out channels, that we can and will use for energy, wisdom, creativity and divinity to flow. We feel these channels at first as woundedness, as emptiness, but little by little by our decisions to affirm ourselves and others, through these channels we serve, we become, we heal, we connect, we feel deeply and inspire joy. This boundary, this bottom line has come forth not from your mind but from your heart and soul, your great need to be whole and to heal. That's how I see it. It's like a firming up of the channel, a fortifying of it, a solidifying of strength, based not on defensiveness or meanness or limitation, but upon decision and commitment to be and do good. You are inspiring. You inspire me. Nobody here doubts how difficult this is. And everybody here knows the pain on which this strength is built. [/QUOTE]
