[QUOTE="JulieAnn, post: 657409, member: 19071"] Thank you so much for that COM. That was wonderful. Also very happy for you that your son is doing so well!!! That's so encouraging. It CAN happen. I may never know it but I have hope. And you're so right, I am Ms. Fixit too. Have a problem? There's a solution! I don't have one to this and that's what is so difficult for me. The shame? Oh, absolutely. Most know about my daughter and her accomplishments but hardly anyone even knows I have a son. He was handsome, funny, struggled in school but nothing we couldn't deal with. Now - his teeth are a mess, he's bloated, tattoo's all over the place and sullen. For a type A parent, it's an extremely difficult truth to realize that I can't make it right. Coming here to this forum and finally 'coming out' of stalking mode has brought so many positives to my thought process. Self love is not always an easy lesson learned. I think that is so helpful when you suggest to feel the feelings in regards to my son, then let them go. That is the hard part for me. "What! not act on them?? No way!!" Well, now I have so many more weapons in my arsenal thanks to you all. Truly, thank you. [/QUOTE]
