[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 696826, member: 20054"] Oh Jodie, so sorry for your anxiety. ..and I thought I was the biggest worrier of us all... But, COM is right-it takes work. Sometimes I felt like how can I work on me when I am already exhausted from working on everyone else? One more job for me? Ah-therein lies the problem. I wasn't doing MY OWN WORK, only that of others, my son mainly. AL-anon was very helpful to me to see my control issues. So what happens if you worry constantly for the next year about what will happen when he gets out? You will have lost a year. It won't change the outcome one iota, maybe things will be impossible for him or maybe he'll get a break somehow, BUT you will be one year older, having one year more of terrible stress eating you alive. For nothing. Save yourself Jodie. You're worth it. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
