[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 702498, member: 15032"] To add a little humor to all of it, when your life feels like a Jerry Springer show, you know things need to change. You need to turn it off. I remember feeling this way in the midst of all the chaos with my son. I really felt like there was a hidden camera someplace at times! Could this all be real - the stuff we were going through?? As my therapist put it, you can love your son unconditionally but your relationship should have conditions. So this is possible and it is okay. I was at that place that I knew this had to happen for my mental health. I don't feel guilty about it anymore because it doesn't affect how much I love him. In fact I feel at times I love him too much because it affects me so much when he is struggling or hurt even though he has done it to himself. Stay strong! [/QUOTE]
