[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 618121, member: 17542"] I am so sorry that you are in pain right now. Whether or not it is true you are feeling the pain. As we all walk through our lives, bad things, sometimes really horrible things, happen to us. We are hurt in many ways. But if we are still alive, we have survived. We may be wounded----I believe all of us are----but we have choices we can make about ourselves. We can do the hard work of healing, seeking help and working on ourselves with medication, therapy, exercise, meditation, rest, journal writing, keeping our lives simple, helping other people, praying, etc. These are just some of the tools we can use---there are many others. Or....we can blame, hurt ourselves further, sit and cry and mope and do nothing permanently, take drugs, drink, waste our lives and potential. We have choices. Hurt and damage are not finite, one-time things. They can be continuous---if that is what we choose. Peeling away the layers, we get down to one thing, finally, I believe: Taking responsibility for our own lives. If we do we can go forward---yes not perfect, wounded, even damaged---but we can still have a good life. Maybe not the life we and others dreamed of for us, but a life that has meaning and purpose. It is our choice and no one else's. It is your son's choice and no one else's---no matter what has happened to him or not. So grieve if you must. Cry for him and for you and for the fact that today, things are not what you dreamed of. Feel it. Don't bury it or push it away. Reading what you wrote, I felt pain. If it happened it is worth grieving over. But then, there will be a time to stop and move forward. That is what we all HAVE to do regardless, getting the help we need to do so. By the grace of God and through God or your Higher Power whatever that is to you. We can't do it alone and I don't believe we are meant to. I am so sorry for your pain today. I am praying for you and your son. Sent from my iPhone using ConductDisorders [/QUOTE]
