[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 612324, member: 1721"] One day at a time ~ sometimes, just hanging on for the next sixty seconds ~ is a good way to pace ourselves, Survivor. The thing I've found hardest over time is to do what is necessary for husband and my own mental and emotional health without being eaten alive by guilt. And by love and regret and hope ~ always and forever, hope that this time, it will be different. We parents of troubled adult kids are walking really tough paths. There isn't anything we CAN do but work toward setting ourselves free, work toward protecting ourselves somehow from the depth of emotion all parents feel for their children, but which is so dangerous for us. Very hard, but necessary ~ for us ~ to be aware of that. I am thankful we are all here to support one another as we learn how to do this. Cedar [/QUOTE]
