[QUOTE="witzend, post: 601844, member: 99"] I'm glad that your difficult child has landed on two feet. It [I]is [/I]difficult to let go when those moments aren't constantly taken up by our investment in them. I had round two with my therapist today. I'm to start keeping a list of when I am bothered by anxious thoughts - what am I doing, what did I think of, what was the resolution - so that we can identify triggers and decide how to overcome or leave them behind. And, I'm going to start working on a deep breathing technique. It's interesting that you quoted that particular verse as a matter of patience. The quote is from Othello, spoken by the (super) villain Iago to Roderigo, who wants to go home to Venice because he has spent all of the money he borrowed from Iago and hasn't remedied his problem with it. Iago is pacifying Roderigo, stringing him along in an effort to maintain control and loan more money to Roderigo so that he (Iago) can get Desdemona by any means necessary, including forgiving Roderigo's debt should Roderigo help him in his nefarious quest. In Shakespeare the villains always give what sounds like the wisest counsel, to their best advantage. [/QUOTE]
