[QUOTE="Steely, post: 249874, member: 3301"] I agree with RM........you are NOT your mother. She did not have to raise a difficult child. God help us if my parents would have had to raise one. Seriously. You are simply responding in a normal way to detaching. There are significant parts of detaching that require anger. It is similar to the stages of grieving - anger, denial, bargaining, acceptance, etc. Sometimes those stages happen every 2 hours for days - or sometimes we stay in one for a seriously long time. As long as you are getting perhaps some counseling, or working this through, you will not stay in the anger stage forever. For now, it is part of coping with the loss of the son you had hoped for, and trying to find acceptance with his choices in life. That is a long road. We are here for you. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
