[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 620916, member: 13542"] Just want you to know I am riding along with you BITS. As the numbness goes away, all of the feelings surface...........I remember that too. Just today I would say as you walk through all of these feelings, feel them and move on............I believe now that they balance themselves, we move through, we resolve the issues, we make choices, we change, we falter, we make mistakes, we get back up, we feel better...............it's like a soup, all the ingredients are there but they're raw, it all has to cook together...........all of those feelings have to come together to form the new YOU, the one not taken out by your parents or your difficult child's view of you or their treatment of you............you keep moving further away from that.............and as you do, you become stronger and more whole............... Just today I would say all of that............because that's what I feel right now. Of course, tomorrow I could wake up and be up the creek.............but right now, that feels true for me. I am okay. It sounds like in spite of all of it, you are okay too. We sensitive ones feel it all..............but once felt, we remain vulnerable to life, open hearted in the face of all of it..............still able to love and be present..............not the path your parents chose.............may not be the path your son chooses...................but it is your path. Stay the course BITS. It gets a lot better. [/QUOTE]
