[QUOTE="ML, post: 172940"] I can relate to the rescue and I'm working on detaching instead as well. I'm asking for less accommodations unless it's related strictly to education. I recongize that he needs to practice having bad feelings and thoughts and come through them having survived a bad day, night, episode or whatever. He needs to know he doesn't need me so much. Some things I do use that have helped are humor and "can I make you some tea and rub your back" which is code for "I know you're overwhelmed and frustrated and lets work on calming down. It usually works. I guess the transitioning back into routine just comes without trying. Life's demands are steady and seldom let up so there is always that "going back to what I was doing before I forget what it was" :) Hugs, ML [/QUOTE]
