[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 737551, member: 18516"] Good article about owning our emotions. This really resonates with me as I look back over my journey with my difficult son and how in the beginning I would respond emotionally as a wounded animal, and like a wounded animal I would often strike back. I have mentioned before how I will no longer allow my son to hold my emotions hostage. I know this has been a key factor in my own healing and being able to detach with love from my son. One part of this article that really sticks out to me is; [I][B]a soul’s lessons is to learn to respond lovingly no matter what — with no conditions under which it is okay to respond unlovingly.[/B][/I] This is something I do try and do with my son, to respond in a loving way even when he is unkind. There are times however, just as the article implies, that you need to lovingly disengage. Give it a read :) [URL]https://www.huffingtonpost.com/margaret-paul-phd/taking-responsibility-feelings_b_1109779.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
