[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 764499, member: 23742"] Yes, AS, you are absolutely right. It is hard to do, especially if you are being emotionally abused, I would imagine. And we weren’t, as I’ve said, so that made it somewhat easier. But I do rest in the knowing that I was there for him when he needed me and his father and I did everything we possibly could that didn’t involve enabling him. If it had been different, I would probably be living with a lot of guilt as are some other family members who now wish they had done more for him. No judgment here but I‘m sad for them that they’re living with guilt. All of us mothers can only give as much as our hearts can bear; and that doesn’t destroy our well-being in the process. It is a hard balance for sure. Thank you for your kind thoughts, AS. [/QUOTE]
