[QUOTE="Payla, post: 593683, member: 15160"] Blacknat, So sorry for your pain. I am finding the detachment philosophy, meditation, therapy, and prayer are helping me live a good life while feeling the sorrow. It is what it is. We all have our own journey, including our adult children. If their journey is awful, it is theirs not ours. One thing you have to work on is not thinking of him as your 12 year old! That is your brain stuck in old patterns and your emotional side only with no logic. Back up to looking at it from the big picture as a stranger, and remind yourself he is a grown man, over and over. Get out of the emotional mind and into the wise mind, where you acknowledge the sadness but recognize the reality. It is hard work but the right thing to do for you and your son. *Payla [/QUOTE]
