[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 626444, member: 1157"] I understand, I've been there. The thing is, that is still putting the focus on him (or any of your kids) instead of yourself. What you're really saying is, you need him to be safe and healthy, in order for you to be happy. But you have no control over that, and If your happiness is dependent upon something you can't control, you're bound to be let down, over and over. This is one of the things I had to work really hard on in therapy, so I understand it's not easy to get to. But I think it's another important piece of the acceptance journey. [/QUOTE]
