[QUOTE="YogiLori, post: 762766, member: 30044"] Thanks so much for your reply. I was feeling so good after the meeting but now I am really down. I have these swings - really up and really down. My son got a job full time nights at Walmart. He starts tomorrow except he must work days for 5 days before moving to nights. The place he was staying is done so he is moving in with my mother in law. There is no wifi, and it must feel pretty awful to live with your 81 yr old grandma. My husband helped him move stuff yesterday and he was complaining about the wifi and the spiders he saw in the bathroom. My son is deathly afraid of bugs (it is bizarre) Walmart is not easy to get too - so we are all sharing driving him to and picking him up from work until he gets his license back in December. I know its a long time but for work, my husband is more than willing to do this. My husband wants to do this and I really don't have to be involved if I don't want too. I seem to need more space than my husband. He is able to literally have his relationship transactional......it is much too hard for me to do...I am ashamed of that..... I went to the Zoom Thursday meeting. It was small but very good. I'm going to try a meeting this Wednesday in my town. I really need more support and I am hoping to find a connection there. It seems when I am trying to find connections I don't ........I think I need a meeting daily to keep me afloat at the moment. My therapy wasn't doing it. I really think its just support about accepting your kid isn't who you want him to be and being okay with it. Somedays I am okay, most days I am not. I do need to keep focusing on the SESH book and attending meetings and focusing on myself. Focusing on myself is almost impossible........its my nature to be the giver and yes, the codependent - so I know I need to change. It isnt easy!! Wah Wah on this Labor Day [/QUOTE]
