[QUOTE="FranP, post: 763776, member: 21404"] Hi LMS, it’s been a long time. Your tribute is lovely. Our children cause us pain. No doubt. I hope your therapy, medications, faith, support of those who love you help hold you up until you can stand strong. Pain doesn’t go away. When I thought I couldn’t go on, I realized I couldn’t let my family down.. They deserved a functional mom. My dear husband was hurting too. I didn’t want to not be part of our team to get thru the pain. I wanted to have a life too. Sabotaging yourself and punishing everyone will not bring him back. Forgive yourself. You did everything you could. At the end of the day we can not save our difficult child’s from themselves. It’s ok to be pissed off at him despite his disease and disability. No judgement from me. We stumble through life hoping we can avert disaster but we get up, dust ourselves off and move on. You won’t forget but I remember your beautiful daughter and kind husband who tried to help. I remember your hopeful beautiful self. I wish I could hug you. It wouldn’t fix anything but you wouldn’t feel alone for a few minutes. [/QUOTE]
