(((((Marle)))) You definitely Rock! Thanks for all you share here; I know you have made a huge difference and I am sure that you have helped ease the journey of more people than you can ever imagine.
One of the things that has helped me step away is knowing that my "helpfulness" was robbing my children of not only responsibility for their own actions, but also pride in their own accomplishments. What message am I sending when I rescue? I have come to realize the message is I don't trust your ability to stand on your own two feet. So I am definitely a better mom when I let my child fall and fly on her own.
