[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 557947, member: 13542"] Good morning Cher, I'm glad you're here, having joined the ranks of 'Warrior Mom' you are among some pretty amazing parents, all of us, doing pretty much what you are doing, learning how to detach, picking up the pieces of our lives after years of trying, unsuccessfully, to control our kids behaviors. Guilt is certainly a part of this process, but I would really encourage you to unload that one, you did the best you could, you didn't cause this and you can't control it. Releasing the guilt will help you to more enjoy your life without suffering over something you can't control anyway. I think many of us make leaps in detachment when we are in a position of having some time without our difficult child's wreaking havoc in our lives, we begin to see how life used to be, how it can be, without the continuing drama and upsets that difficult child's bring to us. Don't beat yourself up over that, I think it's part of the detachment process. You did a good job, you made a good choice, perhaps in jail he will see the light, perhaps not. It's on him now. I agree with MWM, go out and enjoy your life now. [/QUOTE]
