[QUOTE="DawnPhenomenon, post: 1280487, member: 205699"] Thank you! I do have a great deal of love in my life. Its just the way I've always coped with stress (there was a lot of stress growing up as my dad was a compulsive gambler and mum not quite right) so I learned from a very early age to eat to ease pain. I spent four or five years estranged from my son who would intimidate me, shout abusive, send devastating messages. He was really pounding me into the ground. He came back into my life a couple of years ago. His wife is divorcing him after finding out about his two year affair (she's been well pounded too). About four weeks ago he completely lost control and pinned her against a wall while screaming obscenities. He threw stuff around the house and the neighbour (several different neighbours) called the police. My son then asked me to try and persuade his wife to take him back. I told him that I couldn't interfere in him marriage (I don't believe she should take him back) so he has not spoken a word to me since. I'll just have to accept that he likes to hurt me. That if I don't agree with every word I'll be punished. I don't know if he'll ever come back and I don't know what I'll do if he does. I do love him but I don't agree with the way he treats people. I work for a tiny charity and we've raised enough money to buy a building (last year) and now we've raised enough to begin renovating it. Its my responsibility. I'm spending £60,000 on the first stage of the renovations and it's scary! all the health and safety, building regs and other stuff I've got to sort out. This is the first time I've undertaken a project like this. I'm anxious to do everything just right for everyone. There's a lot of stress at the moment. Sleeping is difficult. I wake early (sometimes really afraid). I have a great deal of love and support in my life but I always revert to my childhood habit of 'stress management', basically stuff your face until the pain subsides. I'm not as bad as I was. I don't consume ten mars bars for breakfast etc, I've tried counselling (twice) to try and break the habit but honestly, it's like breathing. [/QUOTE]
