[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 738002, member: 355"] Acacia - I'm so sorry you are where you are at right now. I hope that all of the positive reinforcement you are receiving here is helping you to get to a place where you can hopefully heal and enjoy some good times right now, especially when you are visiting with family. We had the same feeling of anxiousness and dread when we went overseas last year. The group here convinced me to put plans in place to protect our house and then go and enjoy ourselves....and we did just that. Thankfully, there was only 1 angry and belligerent email sent to me and I was able to delete it without hesitation! We sometimes fail to remember that our children are adults and with that comes responsibility and consequence. You ARE a good parent. Lately I've mentioned to our daughter that her father and I are entering our retirement years and want to enjoy what time we have left doing things we enjoy. She replied, "That's selfish - you should be spending your remaining years fixing the relationship with your daughter. Sell the house and come traveling with me." Time to put you and your husband first - self care to heal physically and emotionally. Hugs to you! [/QUOTE]
