barely holding on - 3

[u-turn]

Thanks MrBond for that.
I feel like sometimes I am doing alright when I read things like that - at times I actually feel that way (lighthouse).

You offer them glimpses into that sanctuary at every chance you get. You invite them towards it, let them know it is there as much as you can in a most subtle way.

I feel like this is the best that I can do right now. It makes no sense to my kids or anyone that has knowledge of our situation, but it's the best I can do.

I know not to actually verbally invite them to the light (or back into our lives - that has backfired in the past). I think she felt it was manipulative and judgmental. I try to be subtle.

Thanks again - This is a keeper to read on my low times
