[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 724084, member: 19522"] I am so sorry Adaly. Endocarditis took my husband. Three bouts of it, each one harder than the other to erase. Two and three weeks in the hospital, 6 weeks on intravenous antibiotics at home. He suffered more than I knew, because I know now, that severe infection [I]affects everything.[/I] He became reclusive and angry. It was hard. His endocarditis was due to infection in the blood stream that traveled and hid in his valve replacement. Bacteria is clever. Endocarditis is also cause by needle use. As you well know. I am sorry. Nobody wants to lose their child due to their choices and habits. It is something I think of often, try to prepare myself for what may well indeed be. My two are deep into addiction, oldest on meth, living in a park, middle girl on crack. Their habits and hauntings, friends, all contribute to their demise in personality, physical and mental health, mistreatment of family. It still does not excuse them in their abuse of loved ones. It still does not require me to give up on my peace, and to allow them to tread on me. I am left with prayer. On sad days, I may say "It is all I have", but, I have learned it to be a powerful thing. When we are faced with impossible situations, prayer is empowering. I do not mean to force my belief on anyone. Just sharing what helps me. The detachment article is a very good start. Even though you are faced with this hard reality with your sons health, the looming truth is that [I]he is abusive to you.[/I] Endocarditis is treatable. He chooses not to treat it. He chooses to deny treatment for his mental stability, he chooses to use heroin......... and he chooses to mistreat you. What choice do you have? My two are abusing powerful, mind altering, health snatching drugs. When they are near me, they become verbally abusive. What choice do I have? It is a horrible thing to have to face. It is, what it is. I am sorry for your anguish and situation. You are not alone, Adaly. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
