[QUOTE="standswithcourage, post: 166117, member: 3948"] I think all your posts are perfect. So I will bring up the topic tonight of detaching with love and letting go because that is where I am. Detachment does not mean you dont love them - I understand that so much - but it does mean you cannot live your life through them anymore - you cant change them only yourself and when you are powerless over changing something the only person you can change is yourself. Right now I am at that point again! I am powerless over everything to do with my difficult child - I am powerless over worrying about him - I can write him letters letting him know I love him , am thinking about him, ask him if he needs anything (socks, underwear, etc.) but that is all I can do - I cant change the outcome of things that I have been trying to change forever. It is scary to think I cant change it but I finally feel like I have to let go - does that make sense? It seems that I am a beginner and I am not. I just have to go through this in my head over and over and feel it emotionally before I can do it - you get to a point where you just feel empty - there is nothing more to try. [/QUOTE]
