[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 740274, member: 23371"] You got what I meant absolutely. Keep flinging into the darkness. Nothing else you can do and it will make you feel better. As long as you can realize that the anger is doing him good so you don't internalize it ok. If you internalize it then stop it. Having my own mental illness I've been able to see it as a symptom of an illness, not a personal assault. (How I want others to see my irritability) Glad you found some things to make you feel better today. Life has to be one day at a time. Try to find those things that make you feel better every day. You recall the post I put up here about my son. I'm still cut off. I'm still the focus of his anger. Nothing I can do about it. I miss the person he was at times in his life. Not the angry person. Not the addict behaviors. But my post here gave me peace with my decision. And that peace has lasted these weeks with no contact. Our situations aren't the same. But we have made tough decisions and have to live with our sons' reactions. As I've said before, I've been practicing "tough love" so many years, longer than you for sure, that I have learned to let go. I again wish you peace. [/QUOTE]
