[QUOTE="FamiliarStory, post: 761302, member: 28444"] Hi Copa: Sorry for the very late response to your thoughtful words. I am totally in agreement that my main focus needs to me on me: how can I heal and make changes to myself, my caretaking/co-D ways/my pattern of letting how he is doing rule how I am doing etc... It has been baby steps over the last probably 2 years for me on this front. But the events of this fall (back to rehab for him and other) that startled me into knowing I just have to keep working on me. I am going to be 60 next year. I've only got a certain amount of vital years left myself. Who can say how long-maybe 40! But I really don't want to drag my own dysfunction into those years. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
