[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 672475, member: 19522"] The tears will lessen in time Hopeful. You will go through degrees of sorrow. You will get through this. We owe it to our d cs to show them by our strength, how to be strong. We show them through our resilience, how to be resilient themselves. They may not like it, or understand it, but in time, they will. Please do not linger in guilt for finding joy in your life, Hopeful. It does you no good, or your son. By [I]thriving[/I] and [I]living a joyful life[/I], you are showing your son, his endless possibilities. My hubs is very quiet and stoic, but I see him changing, and understanding we cannot help our d cs. They need to figure things out on their own. We held on far to long to the notion that we could help them. Our d cs ended up despising us in spite of all we did, and all the while feeling they were entitled to help. I think you and your husband have a much better chance at seeing your son become a man of his own, due to your resolve. Try to look at it as that. You are helping him more, by giving him his wings. It is true. Yes Hopeful it is mental and physical. It was hard to see my daughter in the condition she was in yesterday. But you know, today is a new day. I will get past this, and so will she. I am hoping she will see that she can be strong and stand up for herself. She most certainly would not, if I had caved and let her stay. That is quite impossible in the state she is in. You are welcome Hopeful, and thank you for sharing your story. Thank you to everyone for being here and helping. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
