[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 589352, member: 13542"] I think you are making a wise choice to allow difficult child to own up to his past mistakes, pay for them, get his life in order and then get what he wants. You stepping aside is a very healthy move, you've done all you can do. I think it's much easier to detach when you feel that way, you know you've turned over every rock and now you're done. I felt that way too, I did EVERYTHING I could and then one day, I was just finished, but not from anger or frustration, it was from the knowledge, deep in my heart that I had done all I could for my child, and now she really was on her own. I had to reach that point within myself and then, I was free of it. Not to say all the worry went away, it didn't, I still work on it, but not so much anymore, slowly after that moment of clarity that I had reached the end, it all got a lot better, it all got easier and my worry level just decreased and decreased until it is almost gone. I use all the tools I've shared with you, gratitude, sending love, deep breathing, acupuncture, exercise, prayer, massage..................it's all about self care, the focus is on me and that made all the difference. I salute you JKF, you are a phenomenal warrior Mom with a soft and loving heart whose learned a great lesson in acceptance. Go have that massage! (((HUGS))) [/QUOTE]
