[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 307768, member: 7083"] Are you working on trust and abandonment issues in therapy? Those seem to be the recurring themes and those issues will most certainly lead you to feeling the way you are. As far as what you can do at home? I would pick up books on mindfulness and practice relaxation. When you're anxiety is at a constant high it makes everything else out of proportion. These are just tools, not a fix. Tools to help with anxiety, to help keep you in the moment and to allow you to maintain the mindset needed for therapy to be helpful. Personally, I'd also set some boundaries with your son. I think it's pretty cruel that he tells you his wife hates you and continues to drag you into that mess. I know you want to be there for him, but you have to take care of you, too. After that email he sent you - where he threatened you - firm boundaries would have been set in place immediately, had it been me. I'm sorry you're struggling. [/QUOTE]
