Yes it makes perfect sense, and as I've said many times, the only way to get past the discomfort is to face it and walk through it. You
are making progress!
I lost the desire to 'rescue' my AD many years ago. I had nothing left to give, to be honest.
Grandparents don't have rights where I live, unfortunately.
Keeping you in my prayers! :ghug2
