[QUOTE="MrMike, post: 606929, member: 16687"] JKF, Very glad to hear what I shared helped. When I read your post, my heart went out to you. I read your words and knew exactly those feelings you mentioned. What you and I, RE, and others here go through is really and truly emotionally gut wrenching. What is helping me right now is focusing on my feelings when I think of letting my difficult child back in my house. I am very in touch with how he makes us feel when he is living here, which is pretty lousy (anxious, fearful, joyless, captive). I am finding that focusing on this aspect of my situation drowns out those twangs of my heart-strings I get when I wonder where my difficult child is and how he is faring. Dont know if this is a mind-trick or if there really is something to this coping-mechanism, but it is working for me right now. Plus, I know that him being here and mistreating and disrespecting everyone just cant be right, and this helps ease my concerns about him also. Keep posting JKF, and I will also. Take in all the excellent advice and understanding and hugs from everyone here. We are lucky to have so many caring and thoughtful people on this site. Thank God for them. Again, know that myself and others here are praying for you and your family. God Bless. [/QUOTE]
