[QUOTE="healinginside, post: 763267, member: 29962"] Leaf, You really helped me at some low points and I wish I could help give you strength, too. Seeing can be like a knife in the heart and it awakens those maternal instincts that make us want to "make everything better" but we can't. As I say, "I can't fix this". If we could fix it, it would be fixed! It is maddening that it is out of our control but the only thing we can control is ourselves. I feel like you are protecting your granddaughter the same way that I protect my daughter. I have to keep her safe, she did not do anything to deserve this, I don't want to have any regrets about compromising her safety to help him. It is hard as hell but I have to let go and let God. After a huge blowup, trauma, confrontation, one thing that helps me is that I just said to myself, "right now everyone is OK". Even though he is on the streets, the moment is over and we just have to take a few really deep breaths, move on from the moment and save our strength until tomorrow because we're going to need it. Hugs, love and prayers to you. Peace and light to you. ✨ [/QUOTE]
