[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 737974, member: 13542"] And, it can be a double edged sword too. It can keep us stuck in a never ending circle of expecting something that is not real. It's us who have to get our expectations and hope in check and look at what is real. When we are in relationship with a person whose sole intention is to obscure the truth, to fabricate a reality to get something, then we have to become excellent BS detectors or continue getting caught in the web of deceit and lies. We override our gut reactions so much with our adult troubled kids that after awhile it's automatic. TRUST your own instincts, don't override them. I always enjoy Eckart Tolle when he says, "argue with reality and you suffer." That helps me to do what it takes for me to POP OUT of the illusion someone is trying to paint into reality. My family are experts at 'smoke and mirror reality"...the one they make up as they go along for their own benefit......I was the only one who saw a semblance of truth and it took me decades to trust it. Just because everyone around you says that the earth is flat, doesn't mean it's true. [I]Trust yourself. Put yourself first. Do what YOU want.[/I] [/QUOTE]
