[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 557627, member: 13542"] NH, thank you for updating us, many of us were very concerned about you. I think you've done all the right things to protect yourself. That has no bearing on the wave of feelings you're having at the same time, I can only imagine your feelings of relief, fear and sorrow. I hope you're able to be with friends or family now.... at least for tonight. Please keep yourself supported, in whatever ways feel comfortable to you. As many of us can tell you, detaching, in whatever way we do it, is a process, we take it one step at a time. You've made a huge choice, a very difficult choice and there will certainly be many feelings as you go through this. You did a very good job of protecting yourself, you did the right thing, and the deep grief is a part of all of it, it's such a difficult choice to make. It is sad. I've experienced that grief as well, .......as you go through this and feel it, it will lessen. As you learn this new landscape, it will lessen more. If you can get yourself a counselor or therapist or a group where you're with others who understand, that would be so helpful (if it feels right to you of course) that has helped me tremendously. You'll find your way, take deep breaths, sleep well, eat well, take very good care of yourself, get as much support as you can, keep posting here, we really get it. Stay in the present moment, you don't know how this will all unfold, you don't know that you will never have a relationship with your son, this will continue to evolve for quite awhile, he is very young and there are many possible outcomes. Just take it one step at a time and take care of YOU now. I'm sorry, I do know how hard this is. I'm sending you caring hugs and gentle wishes that you find some peace now........... [/QUOTE]
