[QUOTE="wisernow, post: 705672, member: 20373"] Thank you for a wonderful post Walrus. I too have been on this site now for over a year watching and reading. I finally feel brave enough to post. One day I will share the long sad story with my difficult son.(at times I still feel like I am in a war zone fog) However my healing only began when we both hit rock bottom. I detached physically and emotionally with the help of a therapist and a strong strong partner who helped me to see how manipulative and dysfunctional the relationship with my son had become. Its like one other poster on this site said. It was only until I got out of his way and my own way that we could both start to grow. I still love him, see him every so often, and set boundaries which I find at times hard to keep. But we are both moving forward. He knows I love him. But he also knows that he now is in charge of his own life, and his decisions are his consequences. The phone calls for needing things are further and further apart...which for right now is great. Will there be tough times ahead? Of course. But now I know I have my own back...and he wont ever be able to take that away from me. Hugs to you all! [/QUOTE]
