[QUOTE="DDD, post: 303461, member: 35"] Klmno it's good that you realize that your fear is real and that PTSD is likely the diagnosis. Wouldn't it be better for you to address your fears with your own counselor and focus on getting yourself to a better place B/4 you and your son have family therapy together? Although I realize that his choices are what triggered your problems, I don't think he should feel that it is his responsibility to help you find your solutions. The message that you are trying to enforce and reenforce is that "he" needs to face "his" problems and prepare to have a healthier future as master of his fate. I think that absorbing your ongoing stress will prevent him from focusing on his own choice and future. I would hope that the family therapy would be a joint opportunity for the two of you to meet with a professional to set happy productive goals for the future. Of course, neither of you can "forget the trauma" but it can be placed in your heads as a past crisis and not a defining moment that will forever change his future or yours. I wish you well.
