[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 681881, member: 20054"] Hugs Colleen. You are so not alone. As my husband and I look back, it's odd but we can mark our vacations by what happened with our son, ie. was he in jail, just out of jail, lost job or about to lose job, ruining our home before or after our trip? What a way to pseudo live. Memories. this is your best self evaluation.--"I don't get it" and when we are in such foreign territory, so much better to PAUSE and regroup. Think, post, talk to trusted ones, evaluate boundaries to protect yourselves and other son, act slowly. No emergency here, probably been going on this way and more, for a long time. We have 5 children. I told my daughter re: Difficult Child that I am not happy with 80% success rate as a mother. I thought it was my effort that would "make or break" them. Funny how when they succeed, we say "aren't they wonderful?" When they fail we say "What did I do wrong?" You are a good and loving mother. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
