[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 657610, member: 18516"] Years ago I would have never imagined that I would be where I am now with my emotions concerning my son. It has taken me years to get to this place but it is a place of peace. If someone were to ask me "when did this happen" I would not be able to pinpoint the exact time. I have been on this journey for a long time, in the beginning there were so many twists, turns and deep dark valleys. Somewhere along the way I started to realize that I had to let go of all the pain, fear and worry. It was a slow process. I have learned how to deal with my emotions however this does not mean that I still don't have days where I have to "get out my toolbox" and dig through it. One thing that has helped me along the way is to have a realistic amount of hope for my son. I have read stories of people who have really turned their lives around after years of drugs, alcohol and homelessness so I know that it is possible. That gives me hope for my son, however, I temper this with reality. I will always have hope but I do not dwell on that hope just as I do not dwell on the pain and fear that used to consume me. I will never "like" the way my son is living his life but I do have to accept it. It is through that acceptance that I was able to let go and get to a place of peace on my journey. [/QUOTE]
