[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 625985, member: 17542"] Me, too, JKF. I try to shake myself when I am spending too much time on these types of things and stop it. I have wrestled with my steering wheel before. It was trying to drive around town to look for him one time recently when I hadn't heard from him in days. We are just human, JKF. We love someone who lives a self-destructive and dangerous life. I would still rather be where I am right now---hurting and joyful and loving and grieving and happy and serene and scared and sad---all of these things---than cold and hard and nonfeeling about someone who I gave birth to. I don't ever want to be that way, but in order to still have compassion and kindness and show them toward my difficult child, I have to have space too. Otherwise I'm just nuts over his choices. Let us accept ourselves a little more today. We are all doing the very best we can do, in impossible circumstances. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
