[QUOTE="Overwhelmed1, post: 757054, member: 24921"] Ladies, I do appreciate you and yes, Love you... It easy for me to speak my heart here but scary to respond to your heartache. I'm afraid I may say something wrong or that may hurt you instead of help you. This is what my DCdren have done to me. Please don't you fall into that trap too. Can you believe we fought about the shower the other day? Yep, he turns on the shower then walks away leaving it running until he decides to get in. 10, 15, 20 minutes. I asked him not to do this. It turned into an hour of yelling at me. Reminding me of what he thinks of me. Beta, we don't get roped in, we are enjoying what we wish we had all the time. Unfortunately, that's not the case but it does give us a little break. Copa, your son has hurt you by making disappointing decisions that you know are not good for him. These are our kids...and yes we love them. I think part of the hurt we have also comes from us seeing their misery. We know they are not happy, not really and that hurts as much or more than the words or actions. We all have so many emotions running through us. How can we make good decisions for ourselves in this environment? How can we pull ourselves from captivity? We lean on each other here. We love each other here. We escape with each other here. When we leave here, we need to take what we have here with us. Use it to get through one day at a time. We don't stop loving our children, like so many have taught me here, we learn to love ourselves. I am working hard to do this and cannot let my small steps be crushed in the process. Protecting your feelings is so important during this journey. With much love... [/QUOTE]
