[QUOTE="Zin, post: 696838, member: 20600"] My son was released from the hospital today and taken to a dual diagnosis residential program. After he completes the program, he will be placed in a group home. After much prayer, we have decided to still support him but he cannot live in our home. He's reaching out to me for support and I'm struggling with being there for him after he stole from us. I think I'm finally realizing just how sick my son really is. I've been in denial about how seriously ill he is; how far his illness will take him; what all he can do without feeling any remorse and he still insists he doesn't have a mental illness. I'm so numb inside. I feel like the walking dead. I'm going about my daily routine but inside I'm not here. I don't know how to deal with being so hurt by someone you love so much. He said he's sorry again so I'm supposed to continue to love and care for him like nothing has happened. Of course I will always love him but I need time to heal. Since he is in a rehab and recovery program, they say a strong support system makes a huge difference when they're in recovery which I believe is true but I'm struggling with dealing with him right now. How do you continue on when you feel like you are torn in pieces inside but your duties as a mom and a wife still continue. We do have 4 other children even though our son has always required most of our time. I know I'll get through this but this is tough. I feel like I need to separate myself from my son until I'm better but I don't know if it's the right time to do it. When is the right time? [/QUOTE]
