tomsteve Thank you for this:
Prayer For The Day

I pray that I may face and accept whatever discipline is necessary.


I just read a saying the other day that I am hanging on to:
"Discipline is remembering what you want."

When I apply the idea of discipline as "remembering what I want" it helps make my choices clear. Not easy, but clear. Detaching or even going NC with the toxic family members is my choice if what I want is peace of mind and relief from anxiety and controlling behavior run amok on my part! Sometimes I find this very hard to do, because I don't like it, because it feels unfamiliar, because I feel guilty. But being conscious of my choices, and not in denial of reality, seem to be what most propel me towards health....

joy57 I'm glad you got sis on the bus and have some breathing room. Baby steps will still get you where you're going!
Peace,
B.
