[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 672990, member: 19617"] Thanks New Leaf for taking the time to point out specifics on different details I described about this encounter with son's visit. I have re-read all the responses many times. I see from your perceptive insights, that on some behaviors where I thought I was getting derailed, you brought a new slant to my perception to help me see that there might actually be a few baby steps of change happening there, whlle I was focused on what was still going wrong. You are so right that son is somewhat accepting the changes, but testing the waters, and we both (with husband too) are all hopefully coming out of the fog. Trying to break free of old patterns is a painful process at any time. Your encouragement and strong support and all the guidance on this site have been a saving factor in our lives and have definitely brought me to an awakening with conviction to know I cannot do anything at all to change my son, and I am giving him freedom now to move on with his life. I simply cannot return back to old ways, after learning and applying the wisdom learned here. I am so thankful to have found this site. I’m thankful also New Leaf to know you are close in space and place. I lift your situation with your daughters’ lives for their best blessings and for your heart’s peace. Sharing kokua ~K [/QUOTE]
