Detachment...too late?

[Guest guest]

I have spent 30 years being an enabling mother to my BP son before I began to

figure out this terrible disease. I wonder.... Do we ever wait too long? Do we

make them like wild animals kept in captivity too long where they can never

survive in the wild alone?

I know I have confused him. He is still waiting for his " Other Mom " to come

back. Am I just being impatient and worrying AGAIN too much? Am I using My

timetable and not letting him use his? Or because I waited too long is he

doomed to fail and never see the light. He told me recently that if it wasn't

for his Dad and I he knew he would be sitting in a ditch somewhere sucking his

thumb. How can he say that out loud and still think he's normal.

Guess I'm just having one of those " pity party " days.
