PROMPT November 19th

We've all had one or several epiphany's in our lives. Tonight, write about a moment in your life that changed the way you view the world.

I did have an epiphany once and it was profound and had a lasting effect on my life.
We have a daughter and granddaughter who suffer from mental illness. They still continue to plough through life causing mayhem and trouble seemingly oblivious of their actions.
Several years ago I was spinning like a top trying to fix, preempt, damage control, whatever it took I was the one who was loaded with their problems.
I went for one session of counselling because I was feeling stressed. I had no idea actually why I was there, what I would speak about to this stranger. I began to speak and never shut up for the whole hour. The counsellor said virtually nothing. I came out of there knowing exactly what I needed to do. I called my daughter and said that I didn’t want to hear any more dramas. That I was done. She said “Okay Mum”
After that things were better. I still get dragged into her behaviours but nowhere near to the extent I was before. Now I put myself first.
