[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 686626, member: 18516"] Hi Nature, I'm so sorry for what you are going through. You don't have a full plate, you have buffet! I think your choice to focus on your sister and mom is a good one. My heart goes out to you. It is hard to hear them cry and plead. I have found with my son that the only time I hear from him is when he has burned all his bridges and is feeling lonely and desperate. Never asking how I am, or his dad, or any other family member. You did good Nature, staying strong and telling him you could not help him. I know how hard that is. It's a tough cycle to watch when our d_c's appear to show signs of wanting to change and then spiral out of control. I think you will be able to stay strong. You are in a good place with all of this. You see it for what it is and you know that you cannot help your son. Of course no matter how strong we are, it's still very draining on our emotions when we have encounters with our d_c's. It is vital for our mental health and well being that we our good to ourselves. I do hope will all you are dealing with, that you are taking time out for just YOU. Yes, the merry-go-round of our d_c's being stuck in a destructive cycle, and the roller coaster of the ups and downs with our emotions. You never have to apologize for sharing no matter how long. We are here for each other. Sending you warm ((HUGS)) this morning. [/QUOTE]
