[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 679444, member: 17720"] Copa, your posts resonate with me as well. My old journal is filled with pages and pages of such pain. I felt as you do now, I think. I was, to put it quite simply and tritely, heartbroken to depths I couldn't even fathom. I know it is purely academic to tell you not to put this on yourself. If I were posting what you wrote, you would tell me the same thing. We both know that hair shirts and sewer dwelling are not where we belong, simply for the transgression of loving our children with our whole hearts. We both can look at your son's birth grandparents and say, here was a responsible couple who gave their daughter a stable and loving home, and she became a drug addict and caused them tremendous pain and heartbreak. Surely they don't deserve self-flagellation either. But knowing it isn't living it, Copa. Sometimes we just have to feel it, let it run its course. I'm sorry you are in this place now. I know the day will come when I jump back in that cesspool. I hope I don't stay there very long next time. It will get better for you, Copa. We are all right here. [/QUOTE]
