There a girl. ..young woman... that I love very much. For years actually...like a daughter, as my daughter. I watched her grow up and have witnessed the many twists and turns of her journey. Though sometimes it appeared that her path would not straighten for long, I felt confident that she could overcome her self destructive circumstances and finally have a real life. Through the years I have helped, enabled, prayed and distanced myself many times to allow her to stand on her own. Recently she reached out and I stood in the gap once more. Until....
Today I found that most of her circumstance were fictitious and the other half self-induced.
My phone rang for help once again. I searched my heart and my life for the right answer. My anxiety level grew, my stomach knotted and my lunch sat unsteady on my tummy. I thought of my home, my children, my grandchildren. I looked at my daily life that is peaceful and loving- drama free and relatively stress free.
I said No.
It broke my heart...but I said No.
Peace.
