Thanks SP.

Congrats in your sobriety.

My son is a BIG challenge for me in my "co-dependency" sobriety!!!!!

I went to CoDependents Anonymous for almost 4 years then the group stopped holding meetings. it was extremely helpful & while I haven't read that book, I certainly have heard of Melody Beattie & love her book of daily readings - "Language of Letting Go".

My son & I have a meeting with his case worker tomorrow. I want to set some boundaries in place (that I need to keep mentally healthy). I want to be 'there for him' as a support person, but not feeling like I have to be there for him right when he calls. I tend to put my life on hold & feel really mean if, for example he calls & says "I'm feeling really down & wondered if you wanna go for a coffee Mom". YIKES - it's hard to say no to THAT one!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel mean, like I'm failing him etc. So I want to discuss that whole issue tomorrow.

I hope all goes well in your family. I think more is known about these type of problems today - or maybe it's that things are more out in the open.

luv, Kath
