[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 755568, member: 19832"] Thanks much for your replies Chickpea, Busy, and Albatross. It confirms for me that the physical and emotional reactions I have to the thoughts of interacting with my difficult children are normal. There's a book called The Gift of Fear whose premise is that fear in many situations is necessary to keep us safer. I tend to think I should be tougher or be more understanding - always making myself wrong instead of my out of control adult children attacking me. Yes, as you all said, I fear, panic, sadness, PTSD, tears, a pit in my stomach (gut wrenching) - all physiological responses to danger and loss. Thanks for helping me see that these responses are understandable and should not be another stick to beat myself with. I talked to a friend in Naranon last night, and she said it was a wise choice not to interact and to put my emotional safety foremost. You are all a gift in moving me along the path of healing.
