[QUOTE="mmarti, post: 329298, member: 8667"] Fran, your question "why would I have to work harder at his life than he does" really resonated with me...thanks for that and Suz, the blunt no nonsense direction helps me rethink some thoughts...although I don't know if I'm strong enough at this point to hold firm to the truly tough love stuff...anyway, I have great insurance and actually get 8 free face to face therapist visits...I also lead people at work and always direct them to our Employee Assistance Plan...time for me to take my own advice...once I'm back in the office in January I'll make the call and set something up...they do triage via phone and place you with a therapist skilled in what your problem is...anyway, C moved out this weekend so things are calmer...(I just get so stressed and anxious when he's here wondering when he and husband (his Dad) will get into it...it's gotten pretty ugly a few times...but thankfully there was only 1 blow up in the week and half he was at home.....by the way, as if I didn't have enuf stress..I'm the primary caregiver for my elderly parents (Dad's 91, Mom's 87), they live with me...we did an addition and built them an apartment off my kitchen..Mom's a worse enabler than me..always wanting to give him money and pay his bills....ah well..I guess that's how I grew up so old habits are hard to break...Thanks for the words of wisdom...I'll keep you psted [/QUOTE]
