[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 647652, member: 17542"] This is so true. At my worst, I even prayed he would die, so I would be relieved from my pain. It was about me. So much of it was about me, and is about me, and when I first heard that in Al-Anon, I was so angry I could not speak, that someone would dare to say I was as sick as he was. The pain goes on and on, and even when the intense pain abates, there is disappointment and expectations and anger and shame and guilt and the unrelenting grief. I can only say that there is light. There is light that will come, regardless of how bad things get. I listened to people yesterday who have lost their adult children to drugs and they experience light today. Even in the death of their grown child to this awful, terrible disease. I want the light. I want to live in the light no matter what other people who I love so much decide to do. There is a way to do it, and I am so grateful for that. Carri, just keep walking through the grief. As you will. You have so much recovery already, it is very clear in what you write and how you write. We are here with you and we get it. Warm hugs today. [/QUOTE]
