[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 724680, member: 19522"] I call it the terrible awfuls, it used to send me reeling into the darky deep. Suspended in shock in the in between of breathing and not. Turns out, my two have no memory of their outbursts of insanity, or they choose not to. They would seem surprised at my recollection. Like “Oh.....that.....” Silence. No apologies. You know, it was so dramatic and awful at the time. Looking back, I am like "Helloooooooo, you are half of me, silly girl." It is so chilly here, saimin sounds yummy right now! After a few of those episodes I realized I was going to the pit of despair, and they were......partying. Gaslighting? Manipulation? Drug induced psychosis? Or, all of the above. Who knows? One thing I do know is that it all seems designed to keep us here. :twister2: Nope, not going there. Our stories are all different, yet so similar. We see them flailing in the whirlpool of it and jump in to save them, end up nearly drowning our selves. Just another Wednesday, they are out doing what they do, and we are still shivering from the fallout. So very, very true. Well, it may or may not be a long haul.The end of the story is not yet written. They can decide and work on recovery, or not. We can, in the meantime, keep working on and rebuilding our strength, one day, one step at a time. Pulling for you Sam. Stay strong and keep your chin up. You've got this. (((HUGS))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
