He didn't test himself, he deliberately flew under the radar to avoid having actions taken against him. I can claim some share of the blame there, too, because he only acted as he probably thought I wanted him to. So, he was less than a real person. For the first couple of years of his crisis, his father and I had to step in and take all responsbility because he was, for lack of a better word, incapable. We've all been there. I have dragged him down the road of self-help because he wasn't able to help himself and it might have taken him years to get to figuring it out for himself. We can't afford to go on financially supporting him for year, hence the urgency. Now, I can see it's beginning to pay off because he is taking matters into his own hands more and more and my husband and I are stepping back. He is examining himself and realizing that there's work to be done. It's a long process, though. I started from a better base (so-called sanity) and he is basically reconstructing his childhood and learning to become a personality. I wish it were a shorter process, but on the other hand, I see lots of progress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700295858497275586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894514913516471357.post-84649250582624159092010-06-22T07:37:53.552-07:002010-06-22T07:37:53.552-07:00Reading this latest submission, after reading many...Reading this latest submission, after reading many other posts you have offered, it occured to me that if Chris took responsibility for his condition in the manner you have he would no doubt be fully recovered by now.<br /><br />Some self examination may be appropriate. Is Chris empowered to take responsibility because he observes you taking responsibility? or, Is Chris avoiding responsibility because you assume responsibility for him? <br /><br />A fundamental objective, based upon my own experience, is the transfer of responsibility to the recovering individual where the parent progresses from owning the problem to supporting the child who owns the problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894514913516471357.post-10250430601741050312010-06-22T06:14:31.089-07:002010-06-22T06:14:31.089-07:00Thanks, Liz,
