[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 634370, member: 17542"] Alb I went back and read the whole thread. You once again have had a lot of ups and downs in a very short period of time. Bless you Alb. I am so sorry that he has relapsed and that you are in the line of fire of his disease. This awful terrible disease. He has not yet hit his bottom Alb. He's not done cookin' yet. So guard yourself and your serenity. There is nothing you can do to speed up the clock of his recovery. So in the meantime, as he walks his path, keep on walking yours. Take care of yourself. Set the boundaries you need to set. Be kind to yourself. Claim some time, space, distance as you can. Carve out a place to stand strong during this hard time. Step up the tools in your toolbox. Our difficult children are an agonizing blend of sick and sweet, health and outrageousness, self destructiveness and light. It is so hard and so exhausting and so confusing. All we can really ever do here is let go. Today I took difficult child to work and picked him up. Right before he got in the car each time I prayed the serenity prayer out loud. I resolved to say little or nothing but to say I love you. In the early morning he said very little. This afternoon, he said they told him they are thinking about making him a manager when the new store he is training for opens. You hear and see the pride. He also had his first paycheck in his hand. First money he has earned in 17 months. He is proud. I said wow that is great. Congratulations. Then he said I hope I don't have to spend it all. He was referring to bailing out the girlfriend who stabbed him who he says did not stab him. I didn't say anything to that. I just said I love you. I am working to accept what is an love him anyway. Warm hugs to all of us and especially to you Alb. We are here for you. Keep us posted. We care. Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
