[QUOTE="Addictsmom, post: 621779, member: 17748"] Thank you all for your replies. I have my therapist appointment this afternoon. I retired to a small town from the city and have not been able to find an active alanon group, but am going to keep trying. His sponsor is going to help me. I guess what I find the saddest, is all those years I fought detaching, doing all the "right" things, somewhere in my mother's heart, I thought somewhere in the future things would get better. Hope springs eternal I guess. I have made some really nice friends in my new town (I'm single.....partly due to my difficult child's problem and my choice). I make myself go out and socialize. I finally shared my problem yesterday with a lady who is like a sister to me. She was shocked to know I even had a problem. It helped to have someone I can trust to talk to. I've always tried to be strong and just handle it on my own....thinking others may be carrying bigger burdens than mine. Thanks again for all your replies.....it helps to talk to other mothers that know the same pain and challenges that we all face. I will keep reading and hopefully post something that might help others. [/QUOTE]
