[QUOTE="karisma, post: 695792, member: 20391"] [FONT=Arial]Thank you Rebelson, I will check that video out Albatross, Thanks for the help with quotes. It turns out I don't have EOA. The "insert quotes" button wasn't there when I was working with the draft. I was seriously worried for my mental state. lol [/FONT] RN0441[FONT=Arial] - Glad I'm not the only one. By that same token, Difficult Child has done things that I am quite sure I would never tell anyone. Yeah, that bad. Wow, me too! I worry excessively anyway, but the weather and ambulances take it to the next level for sure. I literally think about him every waking moment. I used to think that this was abnormal until I read an article called [SIZE=4][I]Mothers' everyday experiences of having an adult child who suffers from long-term mental illness. [/I]It states: "A content analysis resulted in one main theme: My adult child who is struggling with mental illness is always on my mind"[/SIZE] Sigh Tanya, no, my mother died in 2009. I was her caretaker for the last 9 months of her life. She died from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) from smoking 3 packs of ciggs a day for 40 years. She never did quit smoking. I took good care of her and sacrificed some things to do so. Doing this alleviated some of my guilt. Yes. Most certainly. I am emotionally dependent how he is doing as well as how he feels towards me. This really has to change completely because although he loves me, I do think it is a good possibility that he may go through a period, possibly forever, where he rejects me and doesn't speak to me at all. Thank you to everyone for the replies. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
