[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 269346"] I have these moments. husband has them at times...they are less intense and very brief. It is hard to wrap our heads around the idea of permanent. For me, it is very hard 'cause I thought I could "fix" this. Going to FA meetings has helped husband and I. We've only been to two. Doesn't even totally apply to us...difficult child...thank you G-d...doesn't seem to be a drug user (crossing myself repeatedly here...I'm most grateful for this). However, inappropraite...impulsive behaviors similar to one come out and come out often. When they don't...we are always hopeful that it will remain that way....then the roller coaster starts up again and again and again...YOU KNOW. Folks at this Families Anon. mtg we visited have been going for tweny years. Some have children/adult children doing well now. They still go. Why? Cause they remember and APPRECIATE the support they got there during horrid times. Some still go 'cause things ain't right and it is the only place they can get support. Only place they can get HONESTY and truth. You might want to check one out. The literature is awesome! More specific to your questions... what do I do...where do I go.... 1. husband and I talk 2. I call a friend who as been there. 3. Sometimes I call my therapist. 4. I read uplifting literature [B]5. I keep myself busy...preoccupied...redirected[/B] [B]6. Pray...give it to my Higher Power[/B] [I]The last two are very powerful. I hope this helps.[/I] [/QUOTE]
