Hi Ivy- I’m glad to hear from you! I’ve thought of you often and have wondered how things are going for you and your son. I’m sorry to hear that things are not great with him. He’s definitely in the right place right now to be cared for. It’s crazy to say, but we moms actually ‘relax’ mentally a little when they’re in the hospital (or sadly, even in jail), because we know where they are and that they are safe and sober.
Ivy, it sounds like you have had a very hard road with your son, and yes, you are certainly are a survivor, and strong woman and a good mother.
Your last Christmas sounds really awful. They are addicted and that is all that is on their brain, and their addiction makes them just stomp on the hearts of those who love them.
I’m glad you at least have some peace this Christmas knowing where he is and that he is in a secure place. I hope that it will allow you to have a little bit of joy on your holiday.
Peace and love.. ????
