You had some (a LOT) input into your son's behavior. Even a few years away from abusive relationships can be enough to turn opinions around. What part of SEVEN years of abstinence did you not hear me say? Then I started dating again and the guy I really liked turned out to be very bad news. So I gave up, obviously I'm not ready and I'm in therapy at the YWCA. Apparently, I am not any help in this situation. My apologies for wasting time and space. Since I have nothing of value to offer I will shut up now. I do wish you the best, and hope everything works out for you You were helpful and I appreciated that you took the time to read my long request for help and you responded to my desperation. I just felt that you were focusing on my mental illness as the problem and viewing the entire context of the cycle of abuse as a way of me trying to avoid responsibility. And I apologize for my sarcasm, I think I'm just really stressed out about being abstinent for so long and it having all been for nothing. I'm still screwed up and my son is way more screwed up than I ever thought capable and I wish it were due to mental illness, there are pills for that. What is wrong here is so convoluted that only a lot of time and love and role models and expert help that we may not be able to get can help. |
