[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 596634, member: 15801"] *My experience is that this is a process of us learning to detach with love, to set boundaries and to find ways to go on with our lives. It is not an easy road but I have seen so much growth in this process with myself and also with others who have been on this journey for the last several years. I remember so well when I was in that place of absolute obession with what was going on with my son, how hard it was to find joy anywhere and to just feel my broken heart breaking day after day minute after minute. My son is still a huge mess, is on the streets or something not sure what and at this point I am thinking prison might be the best and safest place for him... something I have tried to help him avoid by getting treatment for him over and over and over again. However although he is as bad off as ever I am in a better place. I have my days of obsession and of absolute and complete worry where I feel desperately sad. I am not sure I will ever get rid of ALL of those days BUT those are not my normal days. I am in a much much better place, and I know many others here are as well. So there is hope for you. It is hard work figuring out how to detach and to make a consious choice not to let them ruin your life.... but I think that is the choice we have to make. Find things that interest you and do them, even if you are faking it a bit at first. Let yourself have times where you feel it, and then move on and find good distraction. And definitely keep looking for support and keep coming here. I think we all truly understand what you are going through. TL [/QUOTE]
