[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 666633, member: 17542"] My dear friend Echo...thanks for this update. I'm just catching up with the thread. Already...you are grabbing onto this transition and righting yourself. The changes in their status affect the changes in our status. When they shift, we shift. I think that is natural with our DCs and trying to figure out where we stand and what is next. I'm SO GLAD you had these past five months and settled into those months. Now, the next chapter. You're already not reacting and not answering the phone if it doesn't work for you, and getting on with your life under this new scenario. Give yourself some grace and mercy to be a little rattled...your own recovery "genes" are kicking in already and you're adjusting. I love choosing nothing as an option. Before all of THIS, I had no idea that was an option in the world...in my life...at all. Today, I know that doing absolutely nothing about any situation is an option for me. What a gift! Irony of leaving your cell at home yesterday...the Universe protecting you. I'm so thankful that he is somewhere good now. That he can be helped if he is ready to be helped. I love that he has gained weight, my Difficult Child did too, after he stopped using---was super skinny for a while, that is one key indicator---now he is normal weight for him. I am hoping and praying right now that your Difficult Child will settle into HIS new transition and right his own ship...it may take a few days or more for him, too. We are not so different...us and them. Warm hugs today, friend. [/QUOTE]
