[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 664041, member: 13561"] Copa, I have thought all those things you were saying and I know the answers. I am in therapy. There is something different about this feeling. It's not the bowel-freezing kind or the gut churning kind, it's just a profound sadness-not even a depression. There is a kind of flatness to it, or a fatalism. Maybe this is true acceptance. I know what he's like and that I can't rescue him from his bad choices-it's truly his life to live or to destroy. I feel it's okay for me to let go. Not saying I can do it 100%. I'm not wringing my hands and feeling bad, while he is living it up in his own way. Well, I kind of AM -no, that's not true. I KNOW he's living it up in his own way, only thinking about what he needs and can get, without any real intention of changing. I DO accept that. I honestly can't explain it-I think he is going to die soon, not being dramatic, honestly. It's acceptance. Thanks to DJ and SWOT for your support-the imagination is so powerful and can certainly manifest itself in physical symptoms-I've totally been THERE=more times than I can count. And I know it doesn't always end in the worst way-often, they're just living their lives and things can turn on a dime. I'm just trying to share this feeling that I can't shake. Again, it's not panicky, it's calm. Don't know how else to describe it. [/QUOTE]
