[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 713599, member: 13542"] I'm sorry Teriobe, feeling the way you do is a hard place to be. I've been in your shoes, the sense of being stuck is tough. The situation with your son and your husband is sad, it's easy to see why you feel angry. It doesn't sound as if therapy is an option for you at this point, but perhaps a group of some kind, a place where you can receive the support you need and deserve. Many folks here benefit from Al Anon, Narc Anon, Families Anonymous and Codependents Anonymous. If there is mental illness involved with your son, you might give NAMI a call, they have excellent courses for us parents and resources you may find helpful. For me, it was a step by step process of recovery. Small doable steps. Attend a meeting. Eat nutritious food. Sleep 8 hours a night. Get exercise daily. Statistics show that even a 15 minute walk can change brain chemistry. Meditate or find quiet time for yourself. There are guided visualizations on YouTube you can access and listen to with earphones. They have good ones for sadness, depression, anxiety, anger, etc. Small changes done regularly will have big results if you keep at it. After emotional onslaughts where we''ve been "beat up" by life, we're left bereft, vulnerable and depleted. It takes a bit of work on our part to recover from those onslaughts.....however, one step at a time, each day, will bring you back to your center at some future point where you can begin to make the changes necessary in your life which will help you to thrive. Hang in there Teriobe, you're in a crummy place now, but it can and will get better. Please get yourself some form of support and do something nurturing and kind for yourself today, now. It's easy to forget our worth, our value when we are confronted with so much stress and heartache.......you have the power to change your life......start today. Sending you HUGS and warm wishes for you for peace and joy. [/QUOTE]
