[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 762377, member: 22840"] Angela, I have been where you are so I know right now you just cannot breath. I remember the days of when my son showed me nothing I did made a difference. I remember trying to hold myself together when I just could not, crazily journaling the same confused, what if, what maybe I could have done, what difference it could have made, gibberish over an over to myself. I was spinning my wheels, just spinning and lost myself. Busy and Nandina have given you great advice. Please reach out and find some peace for yourself. Counseling, no matter how you might feel you are in a place where you should be able to handle this, no, it's a situation as difficult as I have ever been in, and I have been in other very difficult situations. As Nandina has said, anything that will give you a moments peace, to detach from the emotions you are feeling right now, to ground yourself, will be very helpful. For me I found just going outside in my bare feet, in the middle of the night to feel, smell and see nature has a grounding effect on me. Until this day I still do it, since I tripped upon it many years ago. Busy still lives with her daughter out there somewhere, she is a real warrior. My son, when he was not in contact with me for years during what (I hope) were his worst days, was still in my orbit from contact with other people. Regardless, something we all have to deal with at some point is learning how to disconnect and accept our lack of of control no matter how well intentioned we are towards our beloved children. There is hope, for you hope in what you do for yourself, for you, not to change his protectory. And there is hope for him, in what he does for himself, what he accepts for himself going forward.
