[QUOTE="Star*, post: 222755, member: 4964"] IAB, I am so sorry your family is in crisis. I do know how it feels to have your children be told by their father that EVERY thing bad and wrong about their lives is YOUR fault. I think there must be an express lane to hades for these men. I really hope there is. I hope I have a can of lighter fluid to "cheer" him on with as he flys by me. I also know how it feels to have a child attempt suicide. Sadly - for that there is nothing you can do to help them other than put tools in their way to get themselves help. I think despite the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the overdose - it was a cry for help. So here's hoping he gets that help and uses the tools available to him to heal. Speaking of healing - I think if you have not already, should find a really good therapist or psychiatrist and get yourself some therapy for your own PTSD. The old addage "if Momma ain't happy, ain't no body happy." really hits home here because if you aren't the best person YOU can be, your kids won't be either. One of the best gifts I ever gave myself or my son was to find my mental health (or what's left of it) and my self esteem. I learned how to stand up for myself, fight fair and mostly how to not allow my x to have any power over me whatsoever. Once my son saw that his biofather had no hold? It was easier for HIM to let go and find himself. Just know you have friends here - ones who WILL offer you a refill for your Zippo and hand you a match when you need it. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
