[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 762764, member: 18958"] Yes. I did. I had an early life similar to yours and I looked to my loving relationship with my son, as the antidote. It has been a difficult 14 years as I have had to dig deep into myself to reconnect with the deep pain within myself and with that, real healing. There are seldom shortcuts to healing. We often look to our children for this and it is not fair to the child, to put them in this role. Now I see this, but it is awfully painful to live through, like tearing off a scab. I believe we have to release our adult children, however hard this is, and address our own pain, the origin story, on its own terms. [/QUOTE]
