[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 680676, member: 18958"] Hi Insane, Suzir and all. I was away 4 days and it felt like 4 months. My son would fit. His issues are not primarily substances or conduct issues, although these have been a concern. He has mental illness diagnoses, developmental issues, wiring issues (drug exposed, early neglect and deprivation). The thing is more that[I] I know and trust each of you[/I]. I do not think I have it in me to do this again. I came to CD desperate. I do not know if I can find that place in myself again or want to. Looking at our situation from the P.E. perspective (detaching, boundaries) helped me to a point, but my son lacks (still) the maturity and possibly capacity to really handle stuff alone. He has worn out his welcome everywhere and seems to be starting to get it that he needs us and has to moderate his aggressivity and manipulation. So far, I have been little receptive to changing back to the old me. I need a place where I can find some of my softness and openness again. It is not that detaching was not a good thing for then, but I need more tools. To be in conversation with parents who are in a similar situation would be enormously helpful to me. Just like the FOO forum, it would be helpful to have a dedicated space to go and to watch. COPA [/QUOTE]
