[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 654232, member: 17269"] Tanya, I love this. I try to live this way. It helps. I have wonderful memories of my son's childhood. I am grateful for that. My sister's marriage ended in horrible betrayal and ugly divorce. Yet she says "I was loved. I knew love. I am grateful for that." Copa, your suffering is not helping your son. I sometimes think we hope at some level that if we martyr ourselves somehow that will be accepted as an offering by some higher being and that our Difficult Child's will get well. It doesn't happen that way. your suffering is not helping your son. It is hurting you, though, and it is hurting your boyfriend, and it is hurting your community, and it is hurting your work place. Try the things people are suggesting here. One new thing each day. We know how much you love your son. oh, my son lived under a bridge too, a mile from my house, on and off for two years. Eventually he got thrown out. By the other bridge dwellers. Really. You can't make this stuff up. Hugs to you, mama of the hurting heart. We are here for you and for each other. Echolette [/QUOTE]
