<span style='font-size: 11pt'> <span style='font-family: Georgia'> <span style="color: #000099"> janet, as moms we think we can fix it all. it's a hard blow to find out that this isn't true. my heart aches for you.
i've known you...and corey......for seven years now. i know that you have tried to move mountains to help corey & ultimately prevent this kind of diagnosis. the thing of it is, it's not just about what you did/do. corey has responsibility here as well. he has been so resistant to all forms of treatment....only being compliant for short periods of time during which we were all so hopeful for him.
now more than ever you have to be strong. not so much for corey, but for yourself. you know what you need to do.....detach. possibly the ultimate act of detachment. total. not saying never talk to him or see him again, but he cannot be allowed to s*ck you into his chaotic world. you cannot place yourself in a position....ever again to be held at gunpoint or beaten. those are life threatening situations that just cannot be allowed.
where is husband on this? is he aware of what this diagnosis signifies? i know he thinks he & corey can *come to an agreement* whatever that means. does he realize that corey focuses his anger at you ~~~~ placing you at the highest risk of all?
for what it's worth i'll be keeping you in my thoughts & prayers.
