[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 677918, member: 15801"] Hi Tia, I wrote a response yesterday and I don't know what happened to it. Believe me I understand the pain and the worry. So to answer your question... Let yourself feel it for moments and then do what you can to distract yourself. I had to come to a consious decision to not let my son ruin my life, no matter what he did to ruin his own life. Find some good support of other parents who have been through this. This site is one good source of support. Another that has helped me has been a great alanon group for parents. Find some things that interest you and do them, distraction is a good and healthy coping skill and will give you other things to take up space in your head. [/QUOTE]
