[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 736233, member: 19522"] Acacia, I am so sorry for your injury, I hope you are getting enough rest and healing. How well I know the ache of two adult children that are off the rails and will blame everything on others, mainly me. What is a mother to do? It is hard to say no, especially when sick, or injured and down. We are certainly vulnerable. Don’t be so hard on yourself. We are all on a learning curve. This is not the normal stuff of life, but unfortunately, it has become our normal. I have come to understand that my two look at me more as an opportunity, than a person, a mother? I wouldn’t even want to be a fly on the wall if that conversation came up with their “friends”. I draw strength from prayer, and from channeling my dads stoicism. My dad would not put up with such nonsense. My well children are rocks, have pretty much written their sisters off. Sigh. I still have hope that one day things may change, but until then, am leery of any contact. I think it is a good idea to get support to allay your fears. Otherwise, your son will play on them, as you and I, have already experienced. It is sad that our own adult children would use us as pawns on their chessboard, but that is just what it is. I am sorry. Stay strong and focus on healing. That means rest and relaxation. No stress! Stress is so hard on our minds and bodies. You are deserving of kindness and love. You matter. Prayers going up for healing, and for peace of mind and heart. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
