[QUOTE="Hopeful97, post: 677346, member: 19678"] There are many of you that have been on this incredibly sad and difficult journey concerning our d cs much longer than me. Brief background, problems started when d c was 9 with mental illness, treatment was going ok, things started a rapid decline when d c was in 6th grade, as of d c s 18th birthday d c no longer living in our home, d c turned 18 September of 2015. This is hard to explain, I don't know if this is part of loving detachment and setting boundaries but have not had contact with d c for week or so. It is extremely cold d c comes to house hubby answers door comes back in gets coat to take d c to wherever he is staying. When hubby opens door to leave d c must be standing right there I hear "I love you mom" I step out of kitchen see him turning away as hubby shuts door and say " I love you too" d c turns and we briefly make eye contact. I feel weird, it's not the feeling of nothing that I couldn't identify until I posted on this site, just felt like "oh well". Any ideas? Sis thinks it's part of the ongoing process of setting boundaries, lovingly detaching and learning to guard my heart, learning to live without the fear and chaos. It is a new and different feeling or state of being. That's all. Thanks! HUGS Hopeful [/QUOTE]
