[QUOTE="detachingmother, post: 680093, member: 20063"] Oh SK, you definitely have your hands full. You are a very special person to take the kids and keep them together. As hard as it is, and for what it's worth I have an abundance of respect to you for what you are doing. You are those children's blessing. I am thinking this could happen to Son too. He has threatened suicide so many times I cannot count. While I know with males if they say they will commit suicide, the stats say they probably will not. I've read that males will most likely just do it and not talk about it. BUT...I never know, right? So in my head I have grieved and have planned the funeral. Sad, but true. Mostly now, if he dies I feel it will be from shooting up meth, which he did the night he was arrested. So scary. I've had plenty of nightmares, ranging from him dying and me finding him, him dying and me burying him myself (yikes--totally scary), and many more... I guess what I want to ask, do you find yourself grieving already? I often find myself grieving the loss of him on so many levels. I hate even writing this, but I am going to anyway. Sometimes I think that will be the only way they will get peace. For now, I pray, and hold onto faith. Something you said on a previous page, for some reason I missed it yesterday, but about us getting something out of enabling them. I think you're right about that. I wonder if I can figure out what it is totally that I am getting out of it, if I can fix this? Hard to explain what I am meaning here.....but maybe you will get it. [/QUOTE]
