[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 723136, member: 20054"] Dear Copa. Following along on your journey. Our sons do have some extra "stuff" don't they? I have learned, in my passive conflict avoiding life, I need to try to be aware of that without overvaluing it. I had an alcoholic father too, although he was present all along and dried out when I was sixteen. My mother died when I was 24. So... we all have "stuff". That being said, I feel the truth that you and J are both growing. My circle around myself all these years has been 2 feet wide but somewhat permeable. My emotions and self value very close to the edge and easily nicked by others. Me having a hard time finding a balance between being hurt and yet still feeling at all. It has seemed one or the other. Now I see I can have my circle intact but still love and protect myself. I need to love and protect myself. Oh my, this is such a raw thread...thank you all for that today. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
