It's not an easy thing to do, especially when it's somebody you care about. I've had to step away from various friendships over the years in order for me to move on- keeping people around me who were in the depths of their illness was too much for me to handle. People have done the same to me at times, and it hurts from both ends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-15543828073548477932010-03-04T17:09:44.756-05:002010-03-04T17:09:44.756-05:00beautiful photos, I love old photos the best.beautiful photos, I love old photos the best.Jess Mistress of Mischiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766848582303523764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-65912730663129930002010-03-04T02:14:37.982-05:002010-03-04T02:14:37.982-05:00you're in a good place, all round. have a good...you're in a good place, all round. have a good time!Shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999801833389058410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-49118049973423092762010-03-04T01:41:18.677-05:002010-03-04T01:41:18.677-05:00Such a rich post -- I love reading about older sc...Such a rich post -- I love reading about older scientific discoveries and those spartan scientists. <br /><br />And we find the strength to cope one day at a time when tragedy or crisis comes into our lives.Mary LAhttp://louisey.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-18022268685404392452010-03-04T00:19:23.965-05:002010-03-04T00:19:23.965-05:00REALLY neat pictures, you DO tell stories with pho...REALLY neat pictures, you DO tell stories with photos, Syd.<br /><br />Interesting post.

Sometimes those choices are easy, many times they are hard because it involves a truth that must be lived out and in turn creates healthy boundaries between myself and someone else.<br /><br />Nevertheless - I have an array of choices. I love this aspect of recovery!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270178527947291611noreply@blogger.com
