Day 5 - Exposure Therapy. Wow what a day. Some things I thought I would never say I was able to convey. My son came in and met with my doctor and asked a lot of questions. At first he was in shock and then he became angry, not at me but the persons in concern. We only told him little things to give him an outline as we felt it would be too much for him and would flood his my mind. The doctor was fantastic with him and me and he has requested to us that he want to know the whole story. I was hesitant at this time and felt he needed time to digest what we had said and give it a few weeks to think about it and if has still wished to he could make an appointment with the doctor. I then left the room to allow him some time to debrief with my doctor before he went home. I was exhausted for the rest of the day and as a mother hoping that he will be okay. We are in contact everyday now just to make sure he is going okay. I thought day three was hard, but day 5 was worse as it was my own child even though he is grown up now. I love them too much to wish any pain on them and protected them there whole lives so no harm would come there way and they could grow up as normal kids. They are my life and nothing can change that. Having a break this weekend and resume on Monday for a few more days. Thank you to all my supportive friends out there for your kind thoughts. I am realising now that this therapy as hard as it is will help me have a better life. As they say life starts at 50 and I hope that is me.
