[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 760081, member: 23405"] Busy, Thank you for your words of wisdom. I'm trying to use all my Al-anon knowledge to pull me through but this feels "different". I think when it's your child and you worry that they could harm themselves because you're not there to protect them, it's more difficult than the alcoholic husband. I'm not sure, I have to really work on this. I've told him as nice as I can that I need my space and need to care for myself, whether it's reading, praying, or watching a good movie and he just tells me.."well, that's just more bad news" for him because I'm leaving him alone to his own devices and that I'm his only hope. I've never suffered depression and I'm so thankful for that and by the same token it feels more scary to me and makes me feel responsible for any bad outcome. I know I need boundaries because my insides are screaming for them. [/QUOTE]
