I had trouble recognizing my break point and 4 years ago it took with it my son. I now wake up every morning to a room that never gets slept in, toys that only get played with by friends children, no smiles or good morning mom and so on I wake up now knowing my falling apart resulted in his being placed in foster care, and that whatever he went through while in care made it impossible for him to come home without major problems which was 98% why he was placed back in care and into residential treatment programs and no hope of ever living at home until he reaches 18.

Now do I have trouble recognizing my break point? NO. My breaking point is eternally impossible to forget so EVERY day throughout the day I log in a journal what I am doing, feeling and so on. I get thrown plenty of loops but just as fast I hunt for that solution to fix it, now my problems don't get a chance to simmer let alone boil to take me to that breaking point again.
