[QUOTE="savior no more, post: 697170, member: 19838"] Tanya - I think your feelings of trepidation with your son being around in this difficult time are valid emotions of knowing the past with him - it is in no way indicative of your worth as a mother. It has been my observation in my own family and with many families in distress in the hospital that people with problems tend to escalate during these times, not somehow miraculously pull it together and be a positive influence. They typically have to make some drama about themselves. I say this with much regret of what happened at my brother in law's funeral with my then bipolar, narcisstic husband. ugh Maybe this will be a catalyst for your son to look at his own life and choices. I'm so sorry for the loss of your nephew and for your sister's family. I also know that in times of grief my boundaries get much weaker, not stronger. Blessings to you all. [/QUOTE]
