[QUOTE="KFld, post: 7263, member: 2442"] It sounds to me like you have learned the tools of alanon and know when to use them, though it isn't always easy. I hope your visit goes well and that you do find the strength to walk away if you need too, but don't beat yourself up if you don't. Remember you are a "mom" I love the responses to younger difficult child, no matter how much more he elaborated your response of "that must have hurt" was a great one. I always try and remember to respond like that to my difficult child, but it doesn't always work and I find myself lecturing and getting carried away, then kicking myself afterwards. I think it's an art that you need to master! Please let us know how your visit goes. I know what you mean about being around an environment that reminds you of happier times, before everything in your life hit the fan, but it does get easier. I agee with DDD, look for an alanon meeting in the area where you are staying, or drink lots of wine!!! That could help also [img]:smile:[/img] Just kidding!! [/QUOTE]
