[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 646370, member: 17542"] Lil, I see you growing in your ability to separate from your son. In the above, you can change every bit of what you wrote---your feelings---by your reaction---or lack of reaction---to him. It will be slow, and not perfect, and it will take a lot of work. Work like reading books, learning about detachment, learning 12-step methods (if you choose), meditation, finding solace in silence, and learning how to take care of yourself. This board is full of tools on many, many posts to help you learn how to do that. Your feeling is natural---wanting it all to go away. Trust that feeling, and then, use that same energy to continue the hard work of detachment, stopping enabling and changing. You and your husband deserve a great life. Your son is going to have to figure out how to grow up. You've done your job already. The more you can step away, the more your peace will come. Warm hugs and prayers for your strength and courage to walk your own path on your own journey. [/QUOTE]
