[QUOTE="Beta, post: 749223, member: 22597"] Reading through posts today to keep my resolve up. Recoveringenabler, "The worry and anxiety starts to feel like love, and we have a hard time letting go of it. That is where our work is cut out for us. Slowly untangling from that web our beloveds addiction has wrapped around us." That too is me. I don't know if our son is using drugs/alcohol. He claims he's not and we haven't seen any evidence of it, but those things often go along with Bipolar traits, but just like JPG, I struggle with the thought that if I'm not anxious and concerned and worrying about Josh and trying to figure out a way to reach him, I'm a bad, uncaring mother. Being worried and anxious about him has become a habit, just a normal part of my life. And also as JPG said, I know I love him dearly, but his ability to perceive that love as reality is distorted, and he is not capable of recognizing it. "Untangling" is an apt description of what each of us is attempting to do, day by day, in response to the drama our kids have created in our lives. [/QUOTE]
