[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 656353, member: 17269"] Wendy, I hit "like" not because I like your story but because I wanted you to know that you are heard. In a way it may be good that you actually have no money to give...it can help you see clearly how enabling them has not helped them and has hurt you. Maybe it will be the catalyst for you to start taking care of yourself. We all understand how daunting this transition is. We understand how even in your position you are wondering if there is more you should be doing to "help." We understand your grief and bewilderment and hurt. Today is the first day (or in your case maybe yestarday was). Do one good thing for yourself. Sit outside and listen for a bird. Then listen for all the sounds there are...the traffic, the baby crying, the footsteps, the door closing near and far. Let your mind fill with that, sounds, and empty of your sons for a minute. That minute will refresh you. Hugs, Wendy. It is always darkest before the dawn. Echo [/QUOTE]
