[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 621848, member: 17542"] I am so glad that you are already using tools to help yourself. You know **You** are the only person you can save, and that will take all of your time and energy, leaving none for your son. **We** are a full-time job, leaving no time for any other part-time jobs (other people). I am also a committed Al-Anon and have worked the program diligently for four years. I am very grateful for all of the caring, warm, supportive people there (and here) who have walked the same walk I have. Maybe you are finally done AM. ?? I believe that the best expression of the highest and greatest love we have for our difficult child children is this: staying out of the way. But because that is so hard for us to do and do consistently, we have to work a program of recovery ourselves in order to have a shot at it. And as you know, we will become better people for it. Hugs and prayers and blessings from me to you today. Please keep posting here. We care because we get it. [/QUOTE]
