And Lori, I agree with you about not having to suffer abuse from ANYBODY.
I certainly do.
I was just reflecting about how Robby's life had an impact on my life.
I did not really comprehend fully *Letting Go* until I began to interact with him.
It was actually rather profound, to me.
It just hit me one day,
And from that point on, I was able to disengage , emotionally from him, while still caring & hoping that he could find freedom from tormentation.

It was like, WOW, HIS chaos does not have to affect me!
For a while there, it REALLY DID affect me....
I would find myself just sitting there all in a tizzy,
And my daughter would be like, MOTHER, STOP IT.
So yes, I learned from Robby.
