[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 745884, member: 18958"] If you continue to post here you will find that the key to all of this is the strength and purpose and focus that we can find in ourselves, in response to unrelenting pain and fear. I fall into and out of helplessness and suffering. But little by and little I am learning to locate myself in me, and let my son live his own life. The recognition I have is what I have to offer is love and loyalty but not much more. I can offer guidance, advice, or even protection...but I have found that the latter do not work. I end up wanting to steer my son's life, which he does not work. Or I end up putting conditions on my help, which he will neither accept or conform to. I tell myself that what I want for him is only his health, his dignity, and that he live. But really, unless he wants these for himself, do I really have a right to impose that which is really for me, so I can sleep at night? It's a moot point. Because he does not do ANYTHING that I think is wise, safe, or responsible. Not one thing. The only answer is to find a way to live your own life and to deal with these waves of terror and misery. Therapy, meditation, artwork, friendship, religion and spirituality, movement, etc., pets. [/QUOTE]
