[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 501862, member: 13561"] Thanks for asking. Not doing well-older son still here, started drinking with friends on Monday and has been drunk since. Wants me to take him to hospital tomorrow because he needs medications to detox. I have made a committment to stop drinking-it's not helping anything (no duh!) and I'm in bad physical shape from it. Older son is asleep on the couch, but wakes up periodically to curse and moan. I'm going to bed soon and tomorrow will be seeing my therapist after work. Younger son is soldiering on. My house is going into foreclosure-sheriffs sale on 2/22 and I have to find somewhere to live. Cannot live with Oldest. Got a great offer from a work colleauge who has an apartment, but he only wants me, not my sons. Would really like to take the apartment but feel I'm now abandoning younger son. So messed up with my attitudes towards my kids. Younger is 21, working part time but not enough to afford his own place. When does it get to be about what I want and how to live out the rest of my life? Is it selfish to want that? I'm so done with the mothering but I'm really the only one who can change things to how I want them, right? Again, sorry for rambling but am processing as I type. [/QUOTE]
