[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 739492, member: 15801"] Copa, I am so impressed with your insight into yourself.... that is the important piece here. Your son will always try to suck you in and you now know that... and you know your own vulnerability to being sucked in. I think that is part of being a mother!! We hurt for our kids, we want what is best for them, it is easy to get sucked in and to have whatever is going on with them disturb whatever sense of peace we have managed to achieve. So it is totally understandable that this interaction with your son rocked you a bit. What is impressive is that you are recognizing it, and recognizing that this part of it is about you and how you react. I know for me one thing I try to do when I get sucked in is not necessarily let my son know how much I got sucked in. So he doesnt necessarily see my reaction..... (I cant always do this if he really gets me going but I try). Also keeping any contact to texts rather than phone conversations helps.... keeps the distance a bit. And if you dont want contact at all you dont have to have contact. Do some things that you enjoy today!!’ TL [/QUOTE]
