[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 763884, member: 22840"] SLG, your post here was held in a queue, I believe due to the length. I hope you come back on the site to see it now. You have so much to deal with. From what you wrote it seems to me you have been taught to take care of everyone else before yourself, from a young age. I read something not long ago along the lines of how to teach your children to be kind but not be pushovers. The general gist of it was to teach them boundaries. I think a lot of us were taught to be nice, to do and give whatever anyone wanted was the way to be nice. But then there's being nice to ourselves also that should come into the picture, that's the boundaries thing. There's so much to figuring out our boundaries and then practice sticking to them while recognizing when we have misplaced guilt, but it could be something you might want to look into. Your son does sound like he could benefit from some mental health help from a psychiatrist. But at his age only he can decide to do that. Maybe at some point he will get tired of the roller coaster and do something to help himself. Others will come along to offer support and advice, I hope we see you back again. Hang in there. Hugs.
