[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 632814, member: 17542"] This is the crucial difference between then and now. Because you are working and learning and changing, JKF, and you have a set of tools to use, you will get back on level ground soon. Much sooner than ever before. Yes. You know this. You are absolutely right. Just keep allowing the feelings to wash over and through you and feel them, and let them come, and soon, they will dissipate, as RE says. These and so many more questions, even. We want to know the future so badly. We want some assurance that our difficult children will somehow, someway, somewhere, just be okay. That is really all we want, here, now. We are way past anything else. Just let them me okay. JKF, for some reason I thought you saw him already. So, yes, this is a huge, huge part of your angst right now. The anticipation of the visit. The not knowing. The not-needing-to-feel-any-more-pain. But wanting to see him. Hangin there and walk through the visit. You will come out on the other side, and you may need to take a step or two back but you will be okay---back to level ground, soon. Let time take its time with YOU as well. Just let it. And we do honor each and every crazy and nutty and backward and forward feeling. It is okay. RE told me this on June 26 when I lost it completely for about 24 hours---I was undone---and I was afraid I was going back to the dark and crazy and never-ending place but I did not. I got back on level ground fairly quickly. Within a few days I was back to thinking mostly clearly. I can say that going to an Al-Anon meeting every day for a week was a huge boost to that. Thankfully. I used to ward off, fight off, the feelings, because I was truly afraid they would kill me. But they do not, JKF. Lean in. Warm Hugs, we are here for you, circling those wagons. Praying that the visit is okay today. [/QUOTE]
