Finding the Answer

This IS hard! 

I know you have been at it a while and it just doesn't feel like things are changing. I absolutely realize how tired you are. I get the whole idea of trying to find the ANSWER, the MAGIC PILL or the CHANGE that will fix things.

I get it because I have lived your struggle! I have longed for peace in my home. I have been more exhausted than I ever thought possible. I became someone I didn't always like and as a matter of fact really lost who I was for a time. I have felt backed in a corner. I have lost faith. I have blamed and hated. I have felt misunderstood and judged. I have wondered if it would EVER get better.

How did it get SO bad?  I was doing it ALONE! There weren't other choices.

Here's the thing...being alone on this journey CREATES hurdles rather than breaks them down.

When you try to do this alone it can become hard to be objective and proactive; it is hard to see when it is deficit and not defiance, it is hard to correlate symptoms as everyday behaviors, and it is hard to pull apart when it is about you and when it is about your child.  

When you try to do this alone, you can struggle to find empathy and compassion for your child and yourselves; you lose your way, you lose yourself, and often important relationships are affected too. 

When you try do to this alone, it can be very difficult to see progress; it is almost impossible to consider "for as long as it takes," to hold onto hope becomes more and more exhausting, and a commitment to "No Matter What" can literally become a frightening decision. 

When you try to do this alone, you begin to add to the spin; in order to feel safe yourself, you lose the ability to move your own stuff out of the way, it becomes too laborious to continue to do "it" differently, and you unplug emotionally, even to the point of saying I quit either verbally or internally.

None of this promotes HEALING!

The Great News is that being on this journey surrounded by support is incredibly POWERFUL! When you are surrounded by support, you are able to leap over the hurdles and be the healing source that is your child's best chance at healing!  

See each moment more clearly, feel empowered by the insights gained and the tried and true tools and techniques you learn. Get recharged. Renewed Hope. Energy levels that soar. Feel like a parent and like you are in charge of your life again. Make CHANGE!
