[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 598999, member: 13542"] In order for you to take the focus off of your difficult child and place it back on you where it belongs, you will need constant, daily support. You are stuck in that groove and need help to extricate yourself. My suggestion is to augment your therapy with daily 12 step groups such as codependents anonymous, al-anon or family groups. Consider it as you would an addiction and in order to recover you need assistance every day, perhaps more. The worry will lessen considerably if you make that shift of focus OFF of him and onto yourself. He's gone now, it's time to take care of YOU. Do not take all the phone calls, tell him you will limit your responses to him to one phone call per week, or whatever feels right to you, but the constant venting to you will keep you stuck in that groove. You need time for yourself so you can heal. Sending you hugs..............stay strong......... [/QUOTE]
