[QUOTE="BackintheSaddle, post: 617822, member: 17503"] thanks so much!....but MWM, how do you feel when these things happen in your family? I love riding horses- we have 3- and it is awesome therapy but it is so muddy and cold here that it's not possible...I should make myself go to work tomorrow but I tend to be the person people stop by and visit to tell me THEIR problems with no concern about mine (I'm a supervisor) and their problems, frankly, ain't nothing compared to my recent ones...I have been constantly reading and have numerous books on 'difficult kids' and got one this week I really like called 'I am not sick, I don't need help' (really good stuff in it) but I'm soooooo tired of thinking about and processing it!---I have clinical depression I take medications for and usually I'm a happy, optimistic, ready to get up and go do most anything kind of girl....now I can hardly drag myself out of bed each day... my son emailed me today to see if I want to meet for breakfast tomorrow (after he refused to go see a therapist with me because he doesn't want to deal with family drama!)...our agreement is that if we meet once a week for a visit, I'll give him $20 for gas to and from school (I was actually betting he wouldn't contact me directly-- based on his comments, spending time with me is worth more than $20 of his time)...so is he just wanting to meet to get the money? I haven't responded but am thinking I won't for now...I'm not up to seeing him and I'm definitely not up to giving him money this week... I know detachment is the way to go and you have such great advice MWM but the process of doing that with your child (my one and only) seems like more than i can handle...just wondered if it was just me that gets too overwhelmed with grief [/QUOTE]
