[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 653437, member: 18284"] Caybre -- It will never work for you to be living both YOUR life AND HIS. You are very strong. It has nothing to do with that. The reality is that it's just not physically possible for ONE person to live TWO lives. You have your life and he has his. Please understand that I'm pretty darned certain most all of us have tried varying degrees of the same things you have. This is valid that you tried what you could. But there is nothing more. If it could work, we ALL would gladly do it. But it cannot work. ONE person cannot live TWO lives. He has his life and you have yours. We understand (believe me, we do). We care about your health and happiness, too! As much as his health and happiness matters to those who love him, your health and happiness matters to those who love you. It's a painful step, but a necessary one. Give it a try. Let go. You may be surprised how much both your son and you may learn in the process. And let me just validate your feelings one more time.......... It's a HARD thing to do! But it is the reality. Boundaries don't limit love. Boundaries only limit pain. We're all cheering you on!
