Thank you Lindyloo- words I need to hear. I’m grateful for your caring. If I’ve learned anything through this process, it’s that I have no control over what anyone else does, even those closest to me.
My sister and I spoke yesterday. I would say that she is minimizing her problem right now. I remember that well. However, she did tell me that she has been seeing a private counselor for a few months now, so I guess that’s a start. I just got so overwhelmed like I had lost my bearings, since she and I have had each other’s backs for so long. I felt like I was losing another extremely important person in my life. I know I have lost what I used to have with my son-it will never be the same I don’t think, just different, and there’s a grief to that. With her, it remains to be seen.
Thank you for your prayers, they matter. I’m just being mellow today. I’d really love to be in my garden, it’s a mild 70 degrees and so beautiful! But, my back won’t allow it, so I’ll sit outside and read and just soak it in. And later, watch some American football which I love.
Fedupmom- I’m very proud of you for taking some steps to back away from your son mistreating you. If nothing else, you can feel good that you are no longer a party to his addiction and that takes some of the burden off. Stay strong as you can.
Love to all- ????????????
