[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 87718, member: 3353"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: standswithcourage</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> I am so sorry about all of this so much. I feel so tired. </div></div> It helped me to label those feelings the enemy, Stands. They are counterproductive. Develop a mantra, write a gratitude journal ~ whatever you need to do to break those feelings, do it. Those are the feelings that sap our energy to no avail. There is nothing you can do to help your son, now. Destroying yourself is not going to make a difference for him. You told him not to do these things. You could not be there with him every second to keep him from walking the path he was determined to walk. It is one thing togrieve what has happened to our children, and quite another to let the addiction destroy us and our remaining families, too. Don't let the addiction win, Stands. Fight those feelings. You can, you know. I did it. But I was seriously depressed and totally wrapped up in how I might change things, where I had gone wrong in creating the situation ~ anything, Stands. I would have done anything to have helped my son not be where he was. But that's the horrible thing. Nothing I can do will make a difference. Addicition is a horrible thing. I'm sorry this is all happening, Stands. I loved Golden Guru's idea of composing a loving, instructive letter for your son. I did that so many times too, Stands. Whether you mail it or not, writing the letter will ease the pain and clarify your feelings. Barbara [/QUOTE]
