@musicflowers4u- I'm very glad that you found strength through a personal experience with a higher power, and your son. There are several ways to learn to cope, if it comes down to that. However, like you, it's always good to have or ask for help if it's available first.
Having to cope with things other than us when we are ill is added stress that many people need to cope with. And we are stronger than we think that we are. But sometimes we do have to start with a hard line and go from there, setting limits, etc. I had to do that. Don't you think that's where we have to start?
