[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 725749, member: 20054"] Guidance. Your thinking so reminds me of mine. The anxiety of owning his problems. I have a blank piece of paper with a thick black line right down the middle, no words. When my thoughts go wild..I remember the left side is mine, the right his. I think of how full my side is-in your case, home, marriage, daughter, future plans. Crossing that line takes so much away from your side. In reality, his side needs to be his-what he puts there, allows there. Good advice I heard here was not to "see the little boy" any longer. Sad, but true. Now I see better the man, who made his choices poorly and must live with the consequences. I hate that for him but it's true. My son is much older than yours and I still hope he finds his way but until then I can't let it kill me too. My heart goes out to you, I have tears as I type, I know so well your pain. Prayers.
