Dropping the rope is a phrase that we use around here. It means letting go completely and living your life as if he/she will never return. When we try to hold on to what once was, it hinders us in our healing process as well as it keeps us tied to the mlcers and their drama.
Drop the rope and let go!
OK. Now is this the same "as if" that I have seen referenced? Because if it is, well I have totally gotten that one backwards.
Anyway, "holding on to what was"? Gosh, that is NOT appealing to me. What "was" was NOT terrific.
But thats beside the point. Please, tell me how I am doing that? It seems I'm not seeing the forest for the trees here...

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
