[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 619112, member: 17635"] Our public library has [U]Power of Now [/U](I just searched online catalog). I'll check it out this afternoon. It is extremely helpful when you guys share that it will get easier. husband and I know, deep down, we are doing the only thing we can do, but it [B]must[/B] get easier. We definitely need to plan some things to take our minds off of this mess. And, it helps a lot to think that [I]Right now he is okay and we are okay. [/I] You folks have shared so many strategies and given such great advice. I log onto this site several times a day, hoping there are new posts...not just responses to my posts...I devour all the posts because they all help....even when it is just to know my family is not the only ones going through this kind of thing. I have read back several pages and was relieved to see that the advice is not (by a long shot) always detachment. I believe that you guys clearly saw how manipulative gfg32 is and you could more objectively give the detachment advice....just writing a small part of it made it easier for me to see!! husband and I had (almost)reached the conclusion detachment was the proper thing. We just needed to hear it was okay. And, he is 32. Somebody advised me to quit thinking of him as that sweet little boy. That is [B]exactly[/B] what i do - a lot. I know you are right; with time, husband and I will see him more for who he really is. And, that you know what, I will not talk to him unless he can be civil. period. [/QUOTE]
