> When I say look foward---I mean positive things with eager anticipation. I hope you find a way to block out the negative images of your son-----they are his problems now and he'll never learn if someone's always there to catch him--consciously or subconsciously---it will always be a crutch----an ace in the hole.
~ ~ Wise words. He's living with us so it makes it harder. I've done really well in my life becoming stronger, more assertive, more detached etc with people. Becoming less emotionally linked with my son feels like my last & biggest challenge. I think I'm doing not too badly, but when he's not doing well, it's still a biggie challenge! My therapist is helping me a LOT in this regard. So I feel that there's hope in that I have some good support happening.
> Put on a coat and get outside for some fresh air and exercise---that's a good start. Plan that future!
~ ~ again good advice. The getting outside part I can do. I'm not quite at the plan that future part yet.....when I think of our sometime-in-the-future move to the country, I think of all the junk that will need to be sorted through to weed out to move. However, I'm at least starting bit by bit to do it!
