[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 740163, member: 18958"] Hi New Leaf. I don't have a lot of time this minute but wanted to respond. I think it is both. It is love which is always at risk of morphing into it's distortion. No different than any other thing or emotion or idea taken to its extreme. I think when we treat our love only as an addiction, a bad thing, because it can morph into badness, we lose, too. I am seeing that this is what I do. The need to cut myself off entirely from my child, because I have an addiction (to him, to worry for him, to needing to control him, so that I do not suffer, etc.) is not the right way to go. Although over and over again on this forum I have advocated this for others. I believe I can and should be better. I need to find ways to change myself. Not act like he is [I]demon rum. This way of thinking is new to me in the last 24 hours. [/I] I will try to get back to you later. Be well. [I][/I] [/QUOTE]
