[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 737969, member: 13542"] Here's my suggestion for you today Mcdonna.......go have a pedicure and lunch with the girlfriend who hears you, comforts you and makes you laugh. This isn't your issue. Go practice living your life while your daughter is in her new drama........you'll be surprised at how quickly one can move out of that into your own life where peace and joy reign. It's always our choice whether we want to go down that road or not. I like this story a lot...... [I][SIZE=4]“I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost... I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place. But, it isn't my fault. It still takes me a long time to get out. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in. It's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. I walk down another street.”[/SIZE][/I] ― [COLOR=#404040][URL='https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/301895.Portia_Nelson']Portia Nelson[/URL], [URL='https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/536859']There's a Hole in My Sidewalk: The Romance of Self-Discovery[/URL] Mcdonna........walk down another street.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
