[QUOTE="standswithcourage, post: 71880, member: 3948"] Ditto to all the above. I am currently trying to detach. Sometimes I fail miserably. Even though my son is not living in our home he is still coming around somehow when he NEEDS something. He is very anxious about his upcoming court date and all his probation stuff. Anyway I am trying to not do what he can do for himself and detach. I cannot control what he does. We told him he could not come back home after his last jail stint. He didnt believe us. It is the hardest thing I have ever done. I am a teacher. Actually I just got a kindergarten teaching job I have been wanting. It came at the right time. Just in time for me to detach from him - so now I have so much other stuff to do I cant obsess about him all day and that helps me and him. I think it was a God thing! We all need to have faith. This site is comforting to me too. It is because everyone understands. I also go to Alanon. Thank God for that!!! [img]:thumb:[/img] Also when I was in the throws of obsessing about him I volunteered at the hospital in the newborn section. I found that very fulfilling just tohold the little babies. It brought me back to that time and I remembered how much I had done to love and take care of my children. [/QUOTE]
