[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 748681, member: 13542"] Welcome back Wanderingstranger.......I'm sorry you're still struggling with your son, as you know, you've landed in a safe, supportive place. Like most of us, you've done the cycle a few times......and it is very, very sad when our kids slip back, I know exactly how crummy that feels. Your son has made his choice......perhaps it's time for you to make the choice to choose [B][I][U]you[/U][/I][/B] now......to focus on your needs and wants......to remember that you matter, your thoughts, feelings, needs and desires matter. My experience is if you amp up your self care now, be especially kind and nurturing to yourself, the sadness will dissipate as your self care increases. Find supportive environments to engage in.....12 step groups, parent groups, therapy, anywhere you feel safe and nourished. Take excellent care of yourself. Keep posting, it helps. You did your very best for your son....now do that for yourself. Fill yourself back up. It's [I]your[/I] time now. [/QUOTE]
