[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 714779, member: 19832"] Pasajes This is such hard work to keep one's boundaries and to take care of oneself. You did the right thing to take care of yourself, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt terribly. And it often comes out in physical symptoms. Every loving mother wants to help her child, but as we who have difficult children know, helping often hurts us and allows our difficult child to continue on a destructive path. Life is not fair; my oldest is in jail, and sometimes I feel incredibly sad about the injustices in the criminal justice system, but it is what it is, and my son keeps making choices that land him there. I am in the same mode with my 36 year old Borderline (BPD) daughter who is on the verge of homelessness with two children. My stomach is in knots, too, but I know I am a loving, reasonable person. I am sure you are, too. Take care of yourself. Hands off, heart on as we continue to learn to hold our boundaries. [/QUOTE]
