[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 693189, member: 19522"] I am so very sorry for your despair, Nightowl. Please do give yourself the time you need to fully process all of this. It is important to allow yourself to grieve and move through the steps. No one should expect themselves to be a pillar of strength with the loss we all suffer. It is not healthy. We are all here for one another and understand the pain of it. I am sorry for your need to be here, posting and walking this path with others on similar journeys is tremendously helpful. Please know that you are not alone. Be very kind and gentle with yourself. I am sorry for your aching Mama heart. Do know that there are boundaries and lines that must be drawn to keep the sanctity and peace of your home. Especially with younger siblings involved. They are watching and waiting in the wings for your attention. The step you took in demanding respect and decency is life saving for your little ones [I]and your son[/I]. Though it does not feel this way now, by giving ultimatums for proper behavior and following through with consequences you are sending a very clear and important life lesson that you will protect your right to set rules and preserve peace in your heart and home. All of your sons will benefit from your strength of conviction, they will know that there are behaviors that [I]will not be tolerated in your home[/I]. Cry when you need to, let it out, yet stay strong in your boundaries and striving for your peace. You matter. Very, very much. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
