[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 689271, member: 17542"] What a gift it is to go on vacation....together!!! I love the great sharing of a wonderful time away. It's so confusing, because for many of us (especially the Cinderella types like me) I thought "a successful life" had to look a certain way, and that anything else wasn't good enough. I have learned a lot since then, when I could only see that. I have changed, like you said, and like you have, Copa, while at the same time, he has been changing. We are both growing and changing for the better. Not just him. Yes, we must, we absolutely must have our own safe place, our own safe place, so we can rest and be sheltered from these terrible storms with our DCs. Somewhere---either a physical place or a place we create inside ourselves that we can retreat to, to rest, to heal and then to come back again to face whatever it is. And who knows what "enough is enough" means. It may not just be a physical drawing of the line, but some other sort, many sorts of new boundaries and "lines" that are different for each of us. It's all good. It's all okay. No hard and fast rules here. We do what we can live with, each one of us. Yes, that long lovely beach where the sun is shining and the waves are coming in again and again. The horses are running free. And we are too. [/QUOTE]
