[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 763473, member: 19832"] As others have said, our stories mirror each others'. The trick, I think, is living with the heartbreak, but still being able to find joy in life. I'll always have a broken heart about two of my three adult children - one a 37 year old grandiose, mean addict, the other a forty-two borderline addict. After years of enabling I finally put the focus back on me with counseling, reading, twelve step, and self-care. I love my children, but I am choosing to love myself as much. As much sorrow as there is in the world, there is also beauty and joy. I know all of us have tried to be the best mothers we could be. Be kind to yourself. [/QUOTE]
