[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 762296, member: 16761"] Thank you all, and good to hear from you again RN! I am trying very hard to control my guilt that I have not done enough or what society thinks a 'daughter' (in my dad's situation) or a 'mother' (in my son's). In the end, though, I am a mortal human and I have taken to telling myself this over and over - 'I deserve release'. I would not judge anyone else on my actions or inactions, I would have empathy and compassion for myself if seen from outside myself. I am trying to feel what I feel as 'guilt' as 'grief', but that just ends up with me in a chronic sorrow state so I think I can act my way out of it, which usually means becoming codependent again. I've got to figure out other ways to get out of this sad state without jumping back into the demands of others. Gosh, this has been going on for so long now. [/QUOTE]
