I never knew you could let go of people. I grew up with an alcoholic Mom who moved us around the world. If I had tried to let go of her I would have had her rounding up all her poltergeist doubts and fears of not being a good person or mother and had them dumped on my head. I then found a controlling really troubled husband who tracked my every move on one hand and then gave endless love on the other. I had four kids with him. If I let him go I would have had to go to war on an epic scale with him. Instead, I kept saying my truths and eventually they didn't want me in their lives. I am now 50, so it wasn't a good plan. It is a nice thought to keep with me - that you can say "No" to someone, you can let them go. There is a whole world of wonderful people to love.
