Respite

I can't even think of writing about what has happened over the past 5 days...a nightmare..It is enough to say he is using again,out on the street,couch surfing...I am not sure.At risk for losing Job,Landing in Jail..or losing his life.I am going for a 10 day stay with my oldest son.His treat to me,He has no idea how much this means to me and how much I need it!! I feel bad leaving Hubby home to deal with this alone.My hope is when I return my son will be in Jail,with no other treatment available to him,This is all there is left.It has been the worst yet on this journey..xo

  1. My heart aches for you and your family. I am living the same nightmare, my addict spent a small time in jail recently which we were hoping for a longer stay so she could get the help she needed, judge did not see it that way. Having said that it was a very eye opening experience and she hopes to not go down that road again. She has been clean and living by herself for six weeks , so far so good. Hopefully this will happen to your son and will be the beginning of something positive. Take care and try to enjoy your time away. I will be thinking of you. Hugs and Prayers....

  2. I am so glad that you are getting a break. Your oldest son gave you a wonderful present. Enjoy your time with him and his family. Live in the present moment. Don't think ahead because all it will do is rob you of the joy today. When problems get too big, I pray and hand them over to God, accepting that they are outside of my control. It really lifts the burden and allows me to have some peace. You need to find what works for you. You are a strong and wonderful mom who has a lot of support. Never forget that. I am posting something on my blog today that I think you will find helpful. I know I did. It should be on there by lunch time. Have a look if you get a chance. xo
