Thanks for sharing that and you are soooooo right. I have been very preoccupied with our son and it takes away from our relationship. I am turning the page and giving it to God again and again and again. It is like an every hour process sometimes. There is such a part of me that I recognize I would like to control and I just can't. Its a vulnerable and scary feeling. I need to do it and I will!! There have been a few kids in our neighborhood that got into drugs and parental fights in high school and two of them died by suicide. They were both students of my husband in middle school. Our son was good friends with one of them in childhood. They came from loving families and were smart kids. I have feared that about mine. And, I know in my heart we have done everything - EVERYTHING - too much to help him. It has been enabling and it has finally stopped. I am going to post something I read today that struck me so deeply....about letting go. I love when you read exactly what you need to when you need it!!! Blessings

[QUOTE="YogiLori, post: 762746, member: 30044"] Thanks for sharing that and you are soooooo right. I have been very preoccupied with our son and it takes away from our relationship. I am turning the page and giving it to God again and again and again. It is like an every hour process sometimes. There is such a part of me that I recognize I would like to control and I just can't. Its a vulnerable and scary feeling. I need to do it and I will!! There have been a few kids in our neighborhood that got into drugs and parental fights in high school and two of them died by suicide. They were both students of my husband in middle school. Our son was good friends with one of them in childhood. They came from loving families and were smart kids. I have feared that about mine. And, I know in my heart we have done everything - EVERYTHING - too much to help him. It has been enabling and it has finally stopped. I am going to post something I read today that struck me so deeply....about letting go. I love when you read exactly what you need to when you need it!!! Blessings ❤️ [/QUOTE]
