[QUOTE="nlj, post: 626922, member: 17650"] Yes, I rescued him in order to lessen my own pain. I spoke to my brother about this. He says my son can take care of himself. The messages I get from my son often contradict this, but he wouldn't send those messages to anyone else, not his step-dad or uncle or step-brother. He drags me in to his pain and drama, whether intentional or not. I've never told him the effect this has on me. Maybe I should. And I definitely need to slow down, to make space between my initial thoughts and my actions. I'm an impulsive person in all areas of life, H says patience is not one of my virtues. These days of instant communication have made it more difficult to reflect before acting though in many ways. It would be better therapy for me if we had to return to the days of writing letters and sending them by pony express and then waiting a few weeks for a reply. It would remove my inclination for instant response and 'getting things done yesterday'. (p.s. obviously I typed $14 instead of $34 by mistake, I know both our economies are in a bad way but it's not quite that crazy yet!) [/QUOTE]
