[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 753867, member: 23405"] ChickP I’m sorry for your stress. In Al anon we are told that the addict creates crisis to divert attention away from their addiction. When you’re in the middle of it, similar to a hurricane or tornado, you don’t see it. Try stepping away from her problems (again). Nurture yourself, care for yourself and love yourself. You know that’s the right path to take. For myself I sometimes get confused and think I’m more caring if I throw myself into adult child’s problems and participate in all the anxiety, worry and fear that goes with it. In reality that doesn’t do any of us any good. it has taken most of us years to get this “sick”, from our adult children’s issues and ex husband’s alcoholism, in my case and it’s going to take a while to get better. Stay the course. Be strong and try to focus on how far you’ve come and not so much on how far you have to go. hugs! [/QUOTE]
