[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 634664, member: 17269"] Child, This is OK. This sounds authentic, and authentic is the best way we can be. A long break will be good for you, and it won't hurt him I'm sure. Take your break. Try to really really take it...try to tame your mind, put him away, only let thoughts of him come into play when you wish to...that has been one of the hardest things for me, putting away the intrusive thoughts. A break is only a break if they don't walk with you in your mind every day. I've always liked Cedar's image of lighting a white candle. Others, maybe you, talk about visualizing your son in God's hands. I know you wrote another post about putting him in the Lord's hands...do it. Put him in the hands of another, and let go for a while. I am sorry you went through the ringer in this way. You did have a good summer though! You and SO decided to get married! You went to the lake! You spent a lot of time with easy child! You had some meaningful moments with difficult child, and a lot of personal growth on all fronts...and your signature says it all. Life is good. It is good. It's a new day, a fresh day, a day uncomtaminated by difficult child drama. Put him out of your head today and breathe deep. There will be time for thinking about it, for contemplating, for crying. For now, for the weekend...just breathe deep and take care of yourself. Try to be in nature, laugh in the woods. Hugs for your aching tired heart, Echo [/QUOTE]
