[QUOTE="Waitingforamiracle, post: 760133, member: 25449"] Hi Jaypee, that is so good to hear, I'm glad the book was some help. Though as you say, you have had so much on your plate for so long I realise it's not going to be a magic cure! My situation seems very mild compared to yours. I haven't read any books about co-dependency so I can't compare that either though I do want to get the one by Melody Beattie that everyone here recommends. I am currently waiting to see if my son ever gets back in touch, and I often wonder what I will do if he does. He left our household last August after behaving erratically and continually accusing us of all sorts of abuse. He cut ties with us, which hurt his dad badly but for me it was a relief. My main struggle now is with myself and the feelings of guilt about that relief and that I must have let him down in some way when he was a child, the book unfortunately does read from the point of view of the problem being with a partner or sometimes a parent, I wish it spoke more about parent-child relationships as it's not what we want to just "end the relationship" as it sometimes recommends!
