[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 739679, member: 13542"] Tanya, I'm sorry your son's message allowed some FOG to creep back in......losing our clarity as a result of another's choice is fairly easy to do when that someone is your only child. I think that's a typical reaction for us......until we get our balance back. And, you're already getting your balance back because you have an excellent tool box and you know where to go to get support. FWIW, perhaps move directly into seems like this is an old family bubble of childhood wounding we all have within us, which may require the cold light of your inner truth to disperse those old feelings. You know the drill, this stuff comes up for us to acknowledge, accept & release..... a life lesson in letting go of that little girl's concerns about being a failure. Well, from where I stand, you are as far away from a failure as a human can be. Like many of us here, you've lived in a kind of hell with your son......that's a special location most folks don't have to live in......you worked yourself out of there and created a wonderful life.....I know that path too and the fact that you removed yourself and gained your life back speaks volumes about your success......a success we won't be getting any Academy Awards for or even a "good job." It goes unnoticed except for those of us here who've lived in that hell too. Your son may always be who he has been......but you my friend, have changed immeasurably, successfully & beautifully.....and then you turned around and offered all of us that wisdom, that success, that beauty......thank you for being such a big light in this crazy darkness many of us reside in here with our kids.
