[QUOTE="mof, post: 699284, member: 20533"] So I have built something..not tangible though. I have built the proverbial pile of resentment. See, our son is healing as he leaks the truth of some of his dark doings. Well, the truth may be freeing for him, but for me...it's just another hit. So I shovel it on the pile....I'm going to need a proverbial bulldozer to move it around. How have things been? He is repairing his relationship with his brothers who turned 16 this week...one feels shame for what he did, the other much more Grace. He continues to be part of the family...goes to therapy, continued care and such. Today he starts his job. I left my job in part of dealing with man child and returning to being CEO of the house while hubby keeps us financially stable. So what do I do with the pile I'm dragging around...Will some of it melt away? We love him and support him...he's funny and shows great hope...so why am I stuck? I would never want to go back in time..I will never forget...and we never know what is to come. All in all I know things could be so much worse...no addiction would be awesome, no mental health issues would be something I'd wish for everyone..but this is life and stuff it comes with. So for now..it is what it is. Sending positive th o ought s to all of you.. [/QUOTE]
