[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 651277, member: 17461"] None of us knows how he or she will handle a child's self destruction until it happens and keeps happening. We can read all the theory we want to, we can hold degrees in counseling or psychiatry. When it is your child, each parent will have to run that gauntlet alone. That we love them means we are vulnerable to them in a way we are not even vulnerable to ourselves or our mates. We hope for and believe in them because the alternative is unthinkable. Initially, the alternative is unthinkable. And then, there is sadness, and a kind of sole survivor aloneness, and a weird kind of freedom from the immediacy of the pain of what is. That is what happened to me. Cedar [/QUOTE]
