[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 706712, member: 19617"] Hi Teriobe, Welcome to the forum. It is a safe place here to pour out your story. Many here have been in a similar place. We know how it is to be in the FOG (Fear, Obligation, Guilt) when it comes to trying to detach from and set boundaries with our difficult children. But it is the only way to find some remnants of peace within. If you have not already read the article on detachment at the top of the Parents Emeritus Forum, you might find it helpful. Here is the link --> [URL='https://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/article-on-detachment.53639/']Article on Detachment[/URL] How old is your son? Others here have had difficult children in jail or prison and struggled with the same dilemma as yourself. I know the feeling of feeling physically ill as you described. I knew I could not keep going in the same direction, or I would quickly go downhill and not last/live long. I often felt I wanted to just disappear. It is hard to make changes, but I have learned here on this site that [I]"nothing changes if nothing changes[/I]". And the only person we have the power and control over to make change is ourselves. We cannot change or fix our difficult children. They must walk their own path. Keep posting here and keep reading the other threads. It all helps, as you can find similar situations with many different folks here. Stay with us for support. Take care. [/QUOTE]
