[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 631370, member: 17542"] Oh Echo. I would be furious. So rock solid angry. I am so sorry. He is in the taking-10-steps-backward-mode. Like SO said to me last week: He isn't done cookin'...when I asked, what in the world is it going to take? I mean really, it's insane, your difficult child and my difficult child. Totally stupid. I totally agree with your ex and the boundary he set. I love that he was able to say he loved him but... Echo, remember, he is in the grip of an awful disease. He is sick, Echo. He is going to have to find his own way through this, as you know. 10 steps back, and then maybe, 12 steps forward. Just like us. And now, you are going to have to go through the stages of grief again. Again. Shock and denial, pain and guilt, Anger and bargaining, depression, reflection, loneliness, and then, finally, into more acceptance. Just let it flow, Echo. You have to walk through it. You are already doing what you need to do with the 5-mile run, Echo. Keep moving forward. You will be okay. Feel your feelings and be kind to yourself. Just keep on. You need flowers, Echo! Lots and lots of flowers. And start cooking, Echo. You like to do that. Take a nap Echo. Sit in silence, if you can and when you can. Echo, look up and out. Right now the other shore is a long way away, but you can see it, can't you? It's there. I promise. Keep moving toward it. I am so sorry that you are in this place. I am so sorry that difficult child is in this place. I just want to shake him. You are here with us. We are here for you. We are circling the wagons, Echo. We're here. Keep posting. [/QUOTE]
