[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 742894, member: 15032"] Tired I definitely think a therapist will help you. It will help you manage your feeling so much better. Not immediately but over time. You need to develop firm boundaries with your son and what that relationship will look like. He needs the boundaries as much as you do. I have been down a long and dark road with our son and I am so thankful for the years I went to therapy. I also learned how to detach which was the only way I was able to survive, go to work, have a life etc. It does not mean I do not love my son. I love him desperately. I love people very deeply. A curse and a blessing. If they take us down with them what good will that do? We cannot help them if we are so beaten and broken emotionally that we can't even function. If I had not gotten the strength from family, friends, my therapist, God and this forum I honestly don't know where I'd be right now. You have to love yourself too and have self-compassion. This is hard stuff. This could be going on for years with your son. You have to keep up your strength [/QUOTE]
