Wow….I always love your posts, Lady Beltane. However this particular post….I really needed to read those words. My son and I had been living with my parents from when he was 2 years old. Life was perfect! Then when he turned 4, my emotionally challenged brother moved in. 2 years and an order of protection later, I was finally able to move my son and I out of our previously happy home. Sadly, my father was diagnosed with a severe form of Dementia last year and he is decompensating rapidly. My brother up and left again and now my elderly parents need me once more. I had just started to feel ok and now, the idea of moving back there (even tho my brother is gone), has caused all of the pain and trauma to resurface. I feel like I took 20 steps backwards.
Then I read your post this morning. And I immediately felt stronger. I WILL NOT let this define or confine me!
Thank you so very much! Blessed Be!
Your we!come. I am so happy this post is helping you adjust to your new living arangements. May you find the peace and happiness you deserve through out this turmoil!
