[QUOTE="Beta, post: 740733, member: 22597"] Tanya, thank you. Yes, we have a chapter of NAMI in another town next to ours, but it just doesn't work in our schedule right now to make the drive over. I have tried not contacting him for weeks at a time, hoping that maybe the absence of contact in his life would soften his heart, but it doesn't seem to. I do engage in self-care regularly (exercise, healthy eating, hobbies, etc.) knowing how important that is, but it is hard not to feel guilty at times for enjoying something when I know his life is so miserable and pathetic. My faith in God gives me joy even in the midst of great sadness, and I can say that this has had one good outcome---it pushes me toward God even more because without Him I wouldn't make it. [/QUOTE]
