[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 721199, member: 21895"] SRL I hear you and this is something I too truly struggle with. I am learning how to move forward but often it is 3 steps forward and a backslide. I am feeling better today it is so helpful to come to the forum and find support for this predicament we all find ourselves in. I do like to hear from the long standing members of the group that have successful past difficult children. When one describes codependency as a sacrifice of oneself for very little in return ...this is as parents what we do naturally. I honestly believe that is why it is so very difficult for us to let go and let the AC or D.C. Find there own way. We become so involved with rearing and caring for our children seldom do we put ourselves first. And abandoning them at a time of difficulty and crisis seems so wrong in our hearts, even though we know it is what we need to do to survive; and give them a chance to survive. I need to find a way to focus on me and get me feeling better. I must let go and let my D.C. Path be of his own making. I have to get over how I saw his life and how it really is. [/QUOTE]
