[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 538955, member: 11001"] Oh Sig can I relate! It sounds as if you and your dad were very close. You are not nuts. I have forgotten that my grandma is gone and she has been for about 7 years! This is normal and also you are stressed and looking back to finer times. At FA Wed. the group leader said, "We will always be in recovery the rest of our lives-just like our kids." This killed me! Oh please say it isnt soooo.. I believe it may be. The trick is to get where there is peace and the ability to be healthy and live again-I see people who seem to have done it. It is not me yet nor you. We have to grieve a bit longer. And you are also grieving the loss of your dad as well-who cares if it is 4.5 years ago. This comes in waves. I think when anyone grieves one thing, it brings up the other losses in our lives as well as the feeling return. You are beginning to see that the son you once had is long gone-it is becoming more real since you have spent time with him. I just give you a hug and permission to grieve. You're not crazy! [/QUOTE]
