I want to add my thanks for this post to everyone elses. I received an e-mail from my son this afternoon saying "Happy Thanksgiving. Can you call me I need to talk." I know what his "needing to talk" is all about . . . can I give him money! I have been pondering over this since I saw the e-mail & feeling bad about not calling him & not having the money he will want. But after this thread I feel a bit better about not calling & not rushing to his aid - not great, but better knowing I can't rescue him anymore.
I sure am pissed that I have to go through this hellish fight with myself to 1. do what I know is the right thing to do and 2. suffer through the anxiety, guilt, emotional pain, etc. of my addiction to the creepy person my AS has become, cuz I (unfortunately) still love the little boy he was.
Thanks again for the inspiration.
