Annie, when I hit my bottom, I hit it hard...but, I finally was done banging my head against the wall, I had finally had enough...a lot of painful emotions, but I was relieved to know I could now let go ..
I was ready to see and accept that I just couldn't change or do anything about the behavior of the person who I had been obsessing about, but I could change me..
I was ready to get out of my own way, let go of what wasn't mine, and learn how to move forward.
I think you are doing a really wonderful and brave job..keeping the focus on you in what for me would be a very, very stressful situation..You are in my prayers, Annie
