Melody Beattie says in her Language of Letting Go, that sometimes to get from where we were to where we need to be, we need to sit "in between" for a while.

In between is where we heal, where we find our balance again. It is where we put closure on the past and learn to look forward to new beginnings.

In between is not a scary place, although it may be a confusing one. It's a comfortable place where we get to explore and reach out, where we learn about who we really are and what we want from life...this is what I lost sight of when I was wrapped in my son's addiction. I got to know that stranger called "me" and I learned to treat her much better than I ever had before.

You will be okay, you just may need to sit "in between" for a while to regain your balance.
