[QUOTE="Beta, post: 747344, member: 22597"] Newstart--thank you for your heartfelt response. I can sense very easily the pain you too feel. I just want to say first that your son sounded like a wonderful person and I am sorry he is not with you now. I have to wonder at myself sometimes as far as why it's so hard for me to disengage myself from someone who does not care for me or respect me and who is abusive. I'm hoping and praying that our absence in his life might be for his good, but as Tanya said above, there is the very real possibility that I may never see him again or hear from him again and I might never know what happened to him. That's what is really hard. I think that I let him abuse me at times because at least I know that he's alive and I have SOME communication. I know that sounds crazy--do I really think so little of myself that I would tolerate his behavior just to have contact? I'm grappling with that right now. I'm reading "Codependent No More" and I'm hoping it will give me some insight into the issues within myself that keep me attached to him. [/QUOTE]
