Tryin2, I was really shocked when my son said that. This is a life style change for me and is a permanent one. I wont describe how horrible I was to everyone around me but it was bad. That's why my guilt was so painful once I realized the part I played in W leaving me and her A. I still wrestle with the guilt at times but I'm working on it.
My awakening wasn't my son, but my nephew 10. He asked me last summer "why are you always so sad?" out of the blue. Of course I haven't done anything about it until now and am working on my depression.
Understand the guilt thing and it's something we all struggle with. It's a step in the process to come to terms with it all and move forward. Forgiveness of self is important in this to free that guilt burden, but you can only do it when ready to make it real.
