[QUOTE="Steely, post: 97104, member: 3301"] Thank you so much. I have walked many miles in your shoes, just like you, mine, and you are right.........there is the same exact feeling inside of me for my mentally ill son as there was for my drug addict ex. The feeling of, "I have to fix it - it is all up to me - I must make this better - I must save them." And than we do everything under the sun in order to create this act of salvation for them, and it goes unnoticed, and unreconciled, simply because they are the only ones that can make it better, not even an act of Mother Theresa can make a difference, only them. It is just so very hard in a child, so much harder than an adult. However, now that mine is becoming an adult, and I am letting go of the little boy, I am starting to see the need to view things in a different perspective. What a long, long journey..........one I would not wish on anyone. But like you said everywoman............I am so glad I have you guys to lean on, and guide me. [/QUOTE]
