[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 633778, member: 17720"] COM, I think you are doing the compassionate thing, for your son who needs it and for yourself. In the midst of an impossible situation, it sounds like you have found a razor-thin tightwire to walk along that stands a chance of meeting both your needs. I do understand that feeling, of not being able to shut it off, of having my brain whirl and whirl until my stomach joins in and my heart starts racing. Somehow I have to find a way to give it over to my higher power and find a way to parse out the "acceptance" things from the "courage" things. He's in the abyss, COM. He's addicted, he's obsessed, he's physically wounded. You can't control those things. You CAN give him a safe haven until the dust clears and some of the threats abate. You CAN help him keep a foundation of some stability and hope, things that he gets through going to work every day. And you've DONE those things, in a creative way that allows you to keep some semblance of your own sanity. [/QUOTE]
