[QUOTE="Suz, post: 277741, member: 29"] I think we have so much invested in our difficult children that it's extremely difficult to let go. Think of the years you've been his mom, his advocate, his everything. Think of the years a lot of [U]your[/U] identity has been tied up in [U]his[/U] struggles. I don't think it's something we give up easily or well but I think it's key to understanding the dilemma. Someone mentioned it earlier but I would strongly urge you to seek out an Alanon or Narcanon meeting. It might be very comforting to be with people in person who have dealt with/are dealing with your kind of quandary. Hugs, Suz [/QUOTE]
