[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 742370, member: 15032"] I so agree with everything you said above Tanya. Smith you said you are religious. In the Bible it says we are to forgive but we do NOT have to forget. I told my son this. I agree that forgiveness is for US. I do not think you have to stay so active in your son's life. It doesn't mean you don't love him. Giving everything up for our children - addicts or not - is not our purpose here on earth. You deserve to have your own joy and happiness and LIFE! I personally would not dwell on all of this but try to move forward and find things you enjoy and ways you want to improve yourself and live YOUR life with meaning and purpose. If you do not have a therapist, you may want to start talking to someone to sort out your feelings and establish emotional boundaries for yourself. Your happiness matters too! [/QUOTE]
