[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 736297, member: 19832"] New Leaf. How true, how true. My two difficult children see me as the fixer for their bad choices and are totally disinterested in me as a person. And yes, I need help to allay my fears. My magical thinking let’s me believe that if I had just taken him in, he would be doing okay. this is absolutely not true because he refuses to honor boundaries but my stinking thinking still takes me there. My therapist said that this pattern has been happening for 15 years always with the same result, And both my son and I are locked into this pattern. I am responsible for changing my part of the pattern. My therapist recommends no contact with my son because of how difficult it is. I believe he is right but I feel like a terrible person - as though I am turning my back on someone in need. And both my son and I are locked into this pattern. I am responsible for changing my part of the pattern. My therapist recommends no contact with my son because of how difficult it is. I believe he is right but I feel like a terrible person even though intellectually I know it’s not true. I am a fearful person because of my childhood, but I keep working hard to overcome that. Right now I am back at that fear, crying, perseverating, worrying, I will continue to read the posts and do all I can to gather the strength to take care of myself question. How do quote what someone has said in reply as others do when they respond to what someone has written. What I mean is that it looks like they cut and paste part of the original post into their own reply. If anyone can direct me how to do that that would be great [/QUOTE]
