[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 97500, member: 3647"] Susan, It seems that here is where you get stuck, and here is where you fall. You don't know what will happen. Your son does not know what will happen. I don't know, Barbara does not know, Suz does not know, Meowbunny does not know. Nobody knows. Turn it over. It is not in your hands. It is not the mental illness that makes your son do the same things over and over and keep getting burned; it is his addiction. Likewise, it is YOUR addiction to HIM that causes you to keep repeating over and over, "OMG, what is going to happen, I am so worried, what am I going to do, should I do this, I don't know if I should do this..." You have come LEAPS and BOUNDS and should treat yourself to a massive sundae or something. Don't get discouraged when I gently remind you that God is running the show. Remember the serenity prayer. Get to a therapist about that Zoloft. And keep going to Alanon. Progress, not perfection, and you are doing great. (((((((hugs))))))) [/QUOTE]
