[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 723799, member: 20054"] Sam. The "elephant in the room" has been so difficult for us. We don't talk in the evening because I then start crying, worrying (worse) and can't sleep again. We don't talk in the am because he's leaving for work and I don't want to ruin his day. It's strange that in some aspect it's the same as we didn't talk to son because there was never a good time that he wouldn't become defensive, explosive, angry. As stated, no answers here. Al anon and therapy helped but we had to force ourselves at first, as we're not really joiners and don't dump our dirty laundry just anywhere. Sharing here and reading pertinent stories with my hubs helped greatly. Try to focus on your other kids and hang on to that text which simply confirms you are doing the right thing. Life can get back to "closer to normal" in time, I promise. [/QUOTE]
