Hello all. It’s so exhausting, the endless worry and the ups and downs.
Jeanie, I really hope your son is recovering from Covid and I’m glad he’s being well looked after. Hope you feel better soon Jeanie too.
My son split up with his partner recently and he now hasn’t seen his 16-month old beautiful wee daughter for several weeks. On Emmerdale this evening, they featured how impossible it can feel for the recovering addict to feel accepted, to shake off their reputation. And the character ‘Jay’ said ‘the person you love should help you feel better about yourself’.
It must feel so hard for an addict because self-esteem must be low.
M youngest son has moved back in with us – with his brother and me. At least I know where he is just now. But blimey, I feel like we’re treading water…if we’re lucky.
And yes, it feels lonely. I’m really glad his brother is around, he’s supportive…tho he has been part of his younger brother’s problems over the years.
Really feel for you all and wish you strength and good luck, lots of good luck, also for your loved ones who are struggling. Do we all need a seed of self-belief that we can nurture? Then the seed is tended and gradually…it grows.
With love, JB3
