[QUOTE="momshope, post: 761807, member: 28730"] just rose I so get it and send my prayers for your strength. I am in therapy and it is helping me find the energy I need to put back into myself. True I gave my vicious entitled 30 year old daughter a life, and was a good role model. But her behavior is her choice. (I, too am an educator of special needs kids and a proud Marine wife). We can give our all to our kids, what they learn and HOW they learn it is theirs. I refuse to enter into a game with my eldest, who has the audacity to use my relationship with her and my grandson as an emotional pawn in a game. I am learning to self care, and am becoming aware of who does or does not have the capacity to support me. Keeping a gratitude journal, starting my day to ground myself with prayer or meditation. It is hard at this stage of life to put self first, but martyrs die. Not a choice for me. I am NOT on FB. Never will be. People here seem to keep it real, and you can't fake it till you make it forever, just cause other folks are more concerned with outward appearances. Screw that! I am too old to change, and would prefer to tell it like it as, as always. I had a total wig-out today, just before my therapy. I have a long fuse, but I blew! Finally threw on my coat, took a walk with my hubby, confronted the straw that broke this camels back, and felt much better. We have got to fight for the control of our peace of mind most, when others manipulate us to take it, I think. Keep the faith, and the hope. I offer you every prayer, and my support, hoping any of this stuff that I wrote can help. Hugs to you:) [/QUOTE]
