[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 756776, member: 23405"] OW The reason you felt CRAZY before is because you were practicing insanity. The definition of insanity (in Al anon) is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In my opinion, you have stepped off the merry-go-round and are not playing a part in your son's drama. Once we remove ourselves from this role (sometimes which we willingly participate in until we know better), others, such as your son in this case, is forced to make some changes. It doesn't mean that they will happen now and or be perfect changes but inevitably when he doesn't receive the push-back and or participation in the blaming and pointing fingers from you, he has no resistance from which to operate from. You take the air out of his balloon. You are strong and inspiring to me :) [/QUOTE]
