Thank you Lindy Loo- I always appreciate your kind words. I’ve been quite down today which is why I reached out to you all.
I’ve already decided that I’m going to meet up with him and have a heart to heart with him so that he has a clear expectation of how things will be come this December. December is when his school will officially cut him off for non-completion of his work. I have to remind myself of all I’ve done for him for 10 long years, the money I’ve spent for him that I didn’t always have, the summers he lived with us and laid on the couch and didn’t work, and caused a lot of heartache drinking in our home. Many years back, I’m embarrassed to say that I even helped him pay for an Invisalign retainer to straighten his teeth in the hopes of boosting his self esteem and thinking that might give him confidence. I’ve done so many things…
I need to remind everyone that he is 39 years old- 40 in January- certainly not a child, or even a young adult.
I want him to know where I’m coming from and give him time to pull it together which I don’t have a lot of confidence that he will. He still thinks that he’s a victim of this disease and that’s he’s very unlucky, and that his family should care for him as they would a sick person. It’s all terrible as all you dear people know.
I’ll keep you all posted.
