[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 664251, member: 13542"] Hang in there Lila and Seagenie, as Tanya said, this is the hardest journey any of us will ever go through. Focus on yourselves, take it one moment at a time, stay in the present as much as you can, keep yourself VERY well supported, read books to help you through it and be very, very kind to your wounded hearts. Read the article on detachment at the bottom of my post. It helped me to read books by Pema Chodron who speaks about living with uncertainty, Eckhart Tolle who speaks about staying present in the 'now' and Brene Brown, who speaks about shame and "living greatly." As you continue to pull yourselves back from the ledge of the world of our troubled adult kids, life becomes easier and we begin gaining strength. It's hard. But it's doable. You WILL get to peace of mind, no matter what your child is doing, if you stay on the path of detachment. It works. [/QUOTE]
