Exquisite piece. I shared it on my Notes. Loved the cadence of your writing and the language you used to share your experience and invite us to walk alongside you. Feeling grateful.
This is a magnificent piece, written with such deep thoughtfulness and caring. It's so wonderful you shared it. Many will and can benefit from your experience and words that are so universal. Love you!!
For me, I have learned - especially through Al-Anon - that control is an addition I have had. One which I believe, if worked carefully, can protect me and the ones I love from pain and suffering. This is certainly an illusion. In reality, the addiction has caused me much pain and suffering and usually those around me too. It is a daily task to recognize this and redirect my thinking.
Ditto. It's one of the most difficult paths I've ever traveled -- recognizing the impact of over-functioning. And yes, it's a daily effort. Thank you for your authentic words, vulnerability, and heart. 💜
