[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 620539, member: 17461"] Echo, it is good to see you. I was thinking about posting one of those "Has anyone seen...?" You sound fine, and I am glad. Child of Mine, there is nothing more that I can add. You are holding on, doing well. Try to look ahead to when your difficult child has accepted your decision. It will not be long now, and he will have created other options for himself. I was struck by Echo's comment about the pinging of the texts coming in making everything worse, softening her up for the onslaught. That is so true. Even in the story I told about husband and I and the night we had...the phone was off. It was husband and I who did the beating ourselves up, not difficult child. The battle is in our perceptions, in our interpretation of what is happening and who we are in relation to that. Stand strong, Child. Everything we did, every sleepless night, every day spent anxious and depressed ~ none of that changed a thing for difficult child daughter. It does seem to be what Recovering posted: They see us as food. A food source. That is what it feels like, when you get right down to it. I want you to know I am here again today. Freshly committed to support you through this, strong enough because I am not in my own crisis now, to hold strong for you. You are doing the right thing for both your son and yourself, Child of Mine. Not the easy thing. The right thing. And we are all still right here. Cedar [/QUOTE]
