[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 719902, member: 13542"] YS needs an advocate.....and so do you. I have often been in the position of holding the light of truth in a dark situation. As a therapist once said to me, "[I]when you hold the light of truth, what others get to see is their own darkness.[/I]" It can be a slippery slope and can induce anger and hostility in others. You and YS require support, comfort and love in the midst of this chaos. You two are the ones I feel most concerned for. After my son-in-law died, I observed the family system get worse, they closed ranks and blamed everyone, including my daughter and myself for their loss. It was one of the ugliest times in my life, all induced by denial, shame, blame, rage and powerlessness. It may be prudent for you to seek professional support as this saga unfolds. Also to help you to come to terms with how much you can really do to support YS in his healing. My heart goes out to you Cultaranta, you are seeing denial and dysfunction from a front row seat, not in the inner circle, but having to be on the sidelines with no power to change anything. I've been there. Make sure you take care of [B][I][U]you [/U][/I][/B]now. [/QUOTE]
