Much that I am reading on SR is shining a flood light on how severe my denial was about my son. I called the police a bunch of times when things were stolen and they would tell me it had to be him, he would say it wasn't and I would believe him. This went on for years. I am becoming aware that I need to address much that he did to me because it was done to
me.
Since he started recovery 9 months ago I have been telling myself I would wait to deal with the hurt and betrayal I feel for his actions until
he was ready. SR is giving me a new perspective. Why would I need his input to deal with the realities of what has been going on for so long and how
I have been damaged? Much work needed. It is indeed a marathon, and I am talking about my own journey...
I think fear has been keeping me from this part of my journey not only because it is painful but looking at it I will see how my denial contributed?
