[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 723703, member: 19617"] Welcome Guilty Mom, You may eventually think of changing your name, because although I understand why you may feel guilty, you should certainly not feel that way. You have done nothing wrong. You are just caught up in the FOG (fear, guilt, obligation), as we all have experienced. I'll continue following along with your thread, as you tell us more. I understand so well. My own son was 36 when I also had to ask him to leave our home - That was a couple years ago. And I know I can not have him here again. You can read my threads from back then to get the full story. So many of our stories here have a common thread, and sound so familiar and similar. I remember feeling just as you described in the quote above. I could not breathe, and thought I would soon die if he continued to stay with me. I had to make him leave to save myself. I'm glad you found us. I know what a relief it is to share with folks who understand and to know you are not alone. If you have not done so already, please read (and re-read again and again) the [I]Detachment Article[/I] on the [U]Parents Emeritus[/U] Forum. Here's the link: [URL='https://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/article-on-detachment.53639/']Article on Detachment[/URL] Stay with us us here and keep posting and reading others' threads of what they have been through and learned. There is so much wisdom, guidance and comfort here to get you out of the FOG mindset. Others here have been through tthe same thing and survived. Know that you did the right thing, and that [B][I]you are going to be alright[/I][/B]! Take care. [/QUOTE]
