Thanks for all of your thoughts. I am sitting here on the couch listening to all the fireworks going on outside and wishing it would all just stop. And the thoughts of my son come and go every few minutes. My husband, who has the brain injury, goes to bed very early. I am alone. I usually liked to be alone. Before his injury, he travelled all the time and I did not mind it. Now he goes to bed and I wrestle with my son mentally. I checked and where I live there is only one al anon meeting once a week during the evening. I work and can't go during the day. Work really helps though as I keep my mind off everything else. Last night my son told me that I am really a scumbag of a mother and a fool for not helping him and not giving him the phone number of family members who he thinks "as family will help". I emailed him a letter the other day telling him how I feel. I don't know if he has internet on his phone... Isn't that something...homeless but has a phone and can text? I am thinking of texting him and telling him that I am taking a break from his abuse and will not be returning his calls (which I rarely return anyway) and that I will not be answering his text messages either for quite awhile. But I have done all that in the past and it has not made a difference. This time will be no different either. ....I will go to an al anon meeting. I really appreciate all of you and so glad I found this site.
