[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 680847, member: 19522"] That you are seeing this is good Copa, it is a[I] pivot point [/I]for you. In your childhood, you bore responsibility for everyones welfare, and the results of outcome. The weight of the world on your shoulders. How impossible. You are seeing that now and reflecting on it. That is the first step. You know Copa, when my two were home and they saw me going through similar emotions, the sadness and grief, feeling I had failed,[I] they got worse[/I]. It was if they took their cue from me. I had already sunk the dagger, they pushed me over onto it. I took all the burden and sense of responsibility upon myself for their actions, and they jumped on that bandwagon right quick. You did not fail your son, Copa. Stuff happened that was out of your control. He is young, the book is still unwritten. Building a relationship with God is an awesome step. I am not a church goer, but I do have faith. Giving my two over to Him has been my saving grace. Yes, I do falter and despair, but for the most part am greatly comforted in knowing they are being watched over. It is too much for me to bear alone. Yes, there is all of that and infinitely more. You most certainly should not punish or destroy yourself, or think that there is no hope for your son. Copa, I am forever grateful for your introduction of Viktor Frankl here. What a gift he was to mankind. I try my best to think about my twos search for meaning, in that they may rise to their purpose, this helps me to carry on day by day. I came across an interesting story I thought you might wish to see. [MEDIA=youtube]id-s0qLOX1Q[/MEDIA] I am so glad for you Copa. There is always hope. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
