[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 712164, member: 15032"] Catmom Glad he is okay at least so you don't have to worry about THAT. We all question WHY our kids choose a path that is not common to what we would choose for them and/or goes against every fiber of the way we have raised them. I think the answer is "there is no answer". I finally gave up on trying to figure it out and am trying to focus on more productive ways to spend my time and energy. I know now that I have become so much more compassionate towards so many parents of so many kids that are causing them pain. My therapist says I actually have "compassion exhaustion" right now because I just feel like I'm shutting down at times. I have to replenish myself and that could take a long time. Focus on the good in your life. Try to take good care of yourself and have a Happy Mother's Day! [/QUOTE]
