[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 624040, member: 17542"] Yes I do. If my son isn't in jail or is not in this town, every time I hear about a murder, a drug bust, or some bad thing happening on the news, my heart races. This week, we had a murder here, which is very unusual. I live in a university town of about 120K population so it's fairly quiet (except for drugs of course). I knew difficult child was in jail so my mind quickly recovered, but it's what I do now. Wow that's really sad isn't it? That's what we do. That is great wg67. It sounds like you have been through the wringer with your difficult child. A lot of way out of control stuff. Sometimes I think that gets us to where we are faster. The more drama and chaos, the faster we stop. If things rock along with dysfunction and little drama and chaos, somehow we keep enabling. I found that to be true in my marriage to my husband of 29 years, who was a very high functioning alcoholic. By the end, I was dancing as fast as I could to keep him happy but I didn't see it for a long time because it came on slowly. Finally his disease progressed and there was drama and then I started seeing it more clearly. With my difficult child, here has been major drama from the beginning. His decline has been a nearly straight line down. I am praying for you today. You sound like you are really doing well and using your tools and are working toward something. I hope the right thing happens. Blessings and hugs. [/QUOTE]
