[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 647291, member: 13542"] It is a hell Tish. I am so sorry you are going through this. You're so right about each transition raising the anxiety level for the parents too. I think now is the perfect time to begin putting the focus on yourself and taking care of you. When the time arrives, you will know what to do. Do your very best to stay in the present moment and not drift in to the future, where you don't know what will happen and looking there is usually what creates the anxiety. While I was in the midst of that hell, books that helped me were any book by Pema Chodron or Eckhart Tolle who speak to learning to live with uncertainty and staying present in the now. That helped me so much to quell the anxiety. I hope you have some kind of support in place, Al Anon, therapy, Families Anonymous, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness, they have excellent courses and supports for parents) if not, it may be a good time to make that happen for yourself, so you are armed with the care that you need to be able to walk through this next maze with [U]your [/U]needs being taken care of. Hang in there Tish, you're not alone, many if not most of us here know exactly where you are now, we can circle the wagons around you.........sending you warm hugs........ [/QUOTE]
