[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 754261, member: 18516"] Oh dear lady, you will not be compounding their problems. I used to feel the same way with my son when mail would show up from collection agencies. One of the most liberating things I did for myself and my son was to take his mail and write on it "no one at this address by this name - return to sender" Yes, at first it did feel like a betrayal but then I thought "betrayal - I'm the one who has been betrayed" It's little steps like returning their mail that can help us to really start detaching. Returning their mail is like walking around the hole and going down a different street. By the way, I love what you shared by Portia Nelson! [/QUOTE]
