[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 461806, member: 1872"] Nancy, This is hard. Keep taking care of yourself and keep reading your Melody Beattie books and such -- your own program. I know you have been doing this -- I read your other "relapse" thread. difficult child could be identifying with her birthmother, who knows? Or even impelled, genetically I mean, to follow this path. Lately I have been thinking of how little I know (meaning -- nothing) about my boys' genetics. It is a barrier. One that we have lived with willingly, but a barrier nonetheless. But I sure see my husband acting like his mom (scary) and me acting like my own parents (scary). But our knowledge of our own parents explains some inexplicable behavior and saved our marriage more than once. difficult child's destiny will unfold. Try to be easy with it. (Sounds preachy I know -- but I'm working on these issues myself right now so my thoughts are coming more from my own lessons, than my sometimes inexhaustible fount of sanctimonious words). When I quit drinking I never had a relapse; well I guess you could say I was on a "dry drunk" for awhile (about nine years lol). But lately I am frequently relapsing into some of my co-dependent behaviors, even if it's just my own thoughts. It's a long road. Jo xxoo and all my best thoughts to you and yours [/QUOTE]
