[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 750731, member: 23405"] This is so insightful to hear others have experienced this as well. My Younger son who had been away from me for 6 months but resurfaced when ex husband was back in hospital with his detox/serosis of the liver issues and called me to update me on his fathers condition. 40 minutes later we were engaged in an insane conversation about what I should have done in those years his father was drinking to have changed things etc. I ended up verbalizing on my Al anon knowledge I’ve learned in 2 1/2 years and felt like a nut case! Even when I apologized because I didn’t know better at the time, I got blamed. When I finally said I can’t handle this conversation anymore and needed to let him go, I got yelled at for that too because he was ready to do battle and I was putting the white flag up. He took that as a win for himself I think. For myself I just sat staring at the wall for a 1/2 trying to detox for the lethal dose of insanity that just got me. [/QUOTE]
