[QUOTE="seek, post: 714736, member: 22002"] Yeah, I know that. I was talking about me and my reactions. I want to find additional tools and skills so I am not so vulnerable to him and his decisions. I have let go much more in the past - It's hard when I feel hope - after a period of sobriety. Anyway, going to focus on learning new techniques to deal with him. Thanks for sharing to call 911 - usually when he texts me, I text him a block of numbers: detox centers, suicide crisis line, etc. He has never asked me to come get him before - I hope he never does again, but if he does, I have to be prepared. The hard part about that one is that he was in distress and no one knew where he was . . . I would have a hard time getting a call like that and then just going back to my life without ever knowing what happened to him. I can't "not care" to know in such a case. It is just impossible. Especially at night. That's just me and the way I am made and the fact that we bonded (read "Attachment Theory" if you haven't already - in childhood it's a positive, but in adulthood all of a sudden it turns negative. No one talks about that). [/QUOTE]
