[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 766114, member: 19522"] Hi ButCoffeeFirst, Thank you so much for your kind response and encouragement. I know that I will have to work hard at reaffirming my stance and balance while processing this reality. The fog rolls in and bodes me to reevaluate my position, the questions swirling through my head, then talking myself back to as you so aptly put “the only path ultimately.” It is still a battle for me as a mother, but that means I have to go back to my “toolbox” to work through the grief. I have read and reread this. I am eternally grateful to be able to come here and write out my thoughts and receive such help and support on this journey. In truth, when I respond to others with the challenges we face, and what has ultimately worked for me, I am also writing to myself as a reminder of a past I do not want to repeat. Thank you so much for your encouragement and support. “To allow myself a life beyond sacrificing myself for a loved child that I cannot rescue.” I need to put this on my fridge.
