[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 680513, member: 19522"] Hi Lovemyson, So sorry for your need to be here, I quickly reviewed your list of threads, it's been an up and down road for you with your son. I am sorry for the heartache of it all. One thing I know I have read here is that recovery is not a perfect process. There will be steps forward and back, just like us with detachment. There is a thread too, which talks about not being so vested in outcomes. I think the stress and anxiety would be similar to when our d cs are using. I believe the best thing we can do as parents is to switch our focus and work on building ourselves up, and living well. Posting here helps, reading, naranon meetings, anything you can do to build your toolbox. My two have been out of the house for going on 6 months, I gave them over to God. This is their path and journey, and I pray for them, while trying to build myself up for whatever comes along the way. I love my daughters too, and I tried my best as a parent, to give them my all. Made mistakes along the way, but I have got to believe that they do remember the good things that I have taught them, despite the path they are on now. Waiting for the day they will break free of using and step towards recovery. LMS, your son is trying, this is good. He is learning. I pray that he gets back on track with sobriety, and finds his purpose and meaning. In the mean time, take care of your needs and be gentle with yourself. We are all warriors working hard to live as best we can. Soldiers need r&r too, make sure you are able to do something that gives you peace and allows you to breathe. (((Hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
