Loving Welcome Biffy . . . you've come to the right place for support, encouragement & cyber hugs.
I started a new thread for you . . .and my long answer Lynn xoxo This post has been edited by hurtingmom on August 9, 2017, 8:25 AM -------------------- I forgot to read the fine print, when i signed up to be your Mom. I thought it would be smiles & hugs and quite a lot of fun. I didn’t see the part about addiction, mental illness, pain, hopelessness or despair. I didn’t know life could be so flipping unfair. But I now see something in the fine print that I didn’t see before. It also says to survive your addiction, I must love me more.

Parenting gives such thoughtful and wise advice....our feeling that we are in control is not true, but we hang on to it so we don't lose our minds. The hardest part for me is that you don't get to break up with your child. We are torn between letting them go, and hanging on. Hope is a double edged sword sometimes. Stay in touch with everyone and anyone who gives you room to breathe and share and get well. Libby

Thanks, Libby. <3
That truly is the dilemma. I have been to enough counseling, etc. that I would never put up with any of this from a boyfriend/husband. I would kick him to the curb. That is part of the helpless feeling. Especially, when they are under 18. I am shocked at what my child has become. But, unfortunately, as moms we still see the little boy, the good in them. And, at this point in his path, it only hurts him and me to chase after that little boy. Letting go is so hard!!! And, as you said, it makes it harder because for mom/child there really is no completion or end. | ||
