[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 635999, member: 13542"] Keep looking at tickets BG, continue with your life. Find some kind of support system as soon as possible for yourself, whether it be a 12 step group, therapy, anything at all. In order for you to replenish those inner resources, YOU have to fill yourself up with support, self care and nurturing. This path depletes us and when we are empty it becomes very difficult to cope, the stress is overwhelming. The way out of that is to nourish yourself back to health with support. Today, right now, make a choice, do something just for you. Make those reservations, get a massage, call a therapist, find a 12 step group, go to a yoga class, anything. And, every single day, do something kind for yourself. Your son is in his own orbit of his own choosing, you are in yours, separate from him. There is nothing you can do for him now, you cannot fix it or control it and you sure didn't cause it. The very best thing you can do is to take care of YOU. Resume your own life, take it back and make a conscious effort to focus on yourself. I think the best thing you can do is to make those reservations to go to Australia, you staying here ruminating about your son does him no good and hurts you and depletes you. You have a chance to get out of Dodge, take it. You will be surprised at how a change in scenery will shift your perspective in ways you never even thought of. When we are as depleted and worn out as you are, it's hard to make decisions and continue down our own paths.............do this for yourself, GO. Make the reservations today and leave. Go take care of you and be with your best friend. You can nurture yourself back to feeling strong and healthy. Love yourself BG, take care of yourself. Continue down your own path now. You deserve a break from all of this, take it. [/QUOTE]
