[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 622486, member: 13542"] Quite a number of my family members (the ones with mental issues) have a heightened sense of discomfort physically, emotionally, in all ways. I have similar traits in that I am super sensitive to pretty much everything. Perhaps those who are mentally impaired or abusing drugs or alcohol start out as very sensitive people who utilize substances to help them cope, or if they are mentally unstable, well, they are already different and sensitive in certain areas with an inability to cope. I think my Dad was so angry all the time because he couldn't cope with ordinary reality well, my brother and sister had their own coping skills which made them odd. I've often thought if my daughter could follow my lead and really clean up her life, no cigarettes, a more pure diet, no sugar, meditation, yoga, doing whatever she could to get herself in a very healthy state............ it's really quite miraculous what the result of that choice can do. But, as we all know here,[U] we[/U] can't make that happen unless [U]they[/U] want that to happen. I have some stuff around that to share, so I will start a new thread...... Lucy, you sound quite healthy, as if you have really accepted what is as you detach from your son and live your own life. When he encounters the changes in you, I sincerely hope he is pleased, however, just put it in the back of your mind that he may not be pleased for himself, I don't know, but just be prepared for any kind of reaction from him.
