KE, you are right. Time will reveal what is going on with your son and it could be that he is just struggling with an attitude adjustment.

We codependents have triggers just like addicts do and negativity, in any form, in my recovering addict is one of mine. The good, encouraging thing to me is that it seems like you have found sanity and comfort in the cocoon of your own recovery.

Extra prayers for you and your son...

You have given so many gentle hugs; sending some to you, Kindeyes.

Kindeyes

Yes. I hope it's just that he's struggling with attitude. I'll leave him to handle whatever is going on with him.....only he can truly deal with it.

You hit the nail on the head. Negativity around my son is definitely a trigger for me as well. That's part of the whole problem with codependency and reinforces the importance of detaching. Learning to sit in my own discomfort as time reveals more is a lesson in patience. My instinct is to react.....knee jerk. But my recovery tells me to sit back and observe but to do so from a distance NOT with a magnifying glass!

Thanks for all of the kind words, hugs, support, and prayers. I love you all.

gentle hugs

Kindeyes, I am sorry that you still have worries that bring you sadness. This must be so very hard. Heaven knows, if anyone has tools to use in the hard times, you do. But how you must be tired of getting them out.
He has come a long way, Mama. He has to learn from the tough times, too, and that is no doubt scary to watch. Perhaps it is only being tired, and he is a bit discouraged.
Take care of yourself, sweet lady. Let God have this-He has your son in His hands, and He has a plan. Perhaps your son has some tough stuff to learn, how to stay clean in the harder times.
Thinking of you, and sending you a hug this morning. I hope today brings you reassurance, and good things for your son too.
He and you are in my prayers, always,
chicory
