[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 621630, member: 13542"] Good morning HHE. I am so glad you are feeling better. This is a treacherous landscape we're on, and the moments we feel okay need to be acknowledged and cherished. Your son sounds like a good kid. You mention in your signature that he is kind and compassionate which is how I read his letter to you. It sounds as if he wants to take the guilt he knows you are feeling off of you, so you understand it is HIS choice. Listen to him and do that for yourself and for him. It doesn't sound manipulative. He's still pretty young so if you feel okay about doing what he is asking of you, if you feel no resentments about the requests, it doesn't sound unreasonable to me. Take really good care of yourself HHE. I have found in doing that, in really amping up my self care A LOT, it smooths this path out considerably. Make yourself the priority now, there is little you can do for him and he is even trying to convince you to take better care of yourself..........stop eating just sandwiches for meals! Place him in the hands of your understanding of a Higher Power, do your best to let go and put your focus on YOU.........I will keep you in my prayers.............. [/QUOTE]
