[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 735513, member: 18958"] Strange world. I could have written 90 percent of your post. I admire your honesty with yourself and your transparency. I also admire your good boundaries. You speak up for yourself and you were right. We each of us has a different psychological makeup. There is no way to understand us, and to get our needs met without being real. It hurts when that does not feel respected. What you are dealing with is crushingly hard. I think the fact you had an alcohol problem might make it harder. I find that to be the case myself. The hardest parts are the repetitions. The old wounds that get opened. The dreams that turn bad. The guilt. That it must be me. That I am the common denominator. I am very glad you are here and so much hope you continue posting. You have so much to share with the rest of us. I am so like you. I felt my life redeemed by motherhood. My son accused me of that. He was right. It has been devastating to me to suffer with my son. But this is very wrong of me. No child should have to carry the emotional welfare of their parent. I think this is what swot intended to say. i would have been hurt and angry too. But you and I are raw and exposed. It is hard to hear that there could be another way. But the thing is. There is a way out and forward for us. We are stronger than we feel you and I. And I am learning that there can be pain and fear with strength. But it is hard. Very. [/QUOTE]
