I am so happy to come here today and find a posting from you. How are you doing? How are your children doing?
Your posting is spot on and dropping the rope is difficult to do, but it can be done and is far more healthier than continuing to be on the "hook" of the fishing pole waiting and watching for any sign that they are finally realizing that they made a mistake and want to return to the relationship.
Some return and others don't and it's sad that there is really nothing we can do, but let them go. All we can do is pray for them.
As for us, we never asked to go on this journey, but it takes a while for us to come to realize that we lost ourselves along the way and we have now been given the "gift of time", as Cadet always points out, to rediscover ourselves.
Bea, thank you for your posting. Please do not be a stranger.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
