MLC newbie

[Believe6]

Thanks, CanBird. I will try to do better today. I will check the link you sent about detaching. And I will do a test run here if I feel the urge to talk to H about anything. Thank you for this!

Job, I am so sorry for referencing other people's sites. I won't do so again in the future. I appreciate the reminder to not apologize again. To keep conversations short. That he feels like a caged animal. I am trying to remember that he is in a lot of pain and he needs someone to blame that's not himself. After all, he has to live with himself. Thanks for the pep talk.

PeaceToday, Thank you! Yes, I recognize the grief. It doesn't help that today is the 1 yr anniversary of his dad's death. And he still resents me for the fact that he felt he couldn't share things with me. I also know it's not that he couldn't, it's that he didn't even try. But he was already heading down the tunnel and into replay so I know there is nothing I can do. I am going to let myself continue to grieve.

All,
I wonder, do we continue to go through grief when they finally move out? Then the same process if there is a legal separation or divorce? Do we keep having to cycle through grief? When do we get to feel peace? I know. Our own emotions are a choice based on our thoughts, right?

I hope you are all coping with the stress of being locked in and all that we deal with regarding MLC. Sending blessings and peaceful thoughts.

On top of it, I get to deal with a sick teenager. It's hard. You see them as little kids again when they are sick. But I also see it as a blessing. I am still a mom. A mom who loves and is there for her kids.

Blessings
