    About Me

    I work at a college, support staff & have 3 daughters, one grandson & a GREAT husband. We love basketball, football, volleyball. I also enjoy reading. I hope to be able to walk on a regular basis again, I really loved walking, helped me to relax & gave me peace of mind.

      From Slowmoving Tuesday

      Thank you for your words of encouragement. I'm always a little slow in checking my journals. My son is 25 and is what I call a social misfit. He's brilliant, but never felt as though he fit in. I think he found a crowd that was willing to accept him, druggies always accept anyone that is willing to do drugs with them. He needs to find a better way of coping with life instead of shutting it out. It's still a rough road, many days he won't get out of bed. The good news, I think and hope, is that he's staying away from them now. He quit taking his suboxone and refuses to go to counseling anymore. I can't make him - he's an adult. We have always been extremely close and that's what upsets me the most. I've been so wrapped up in my own pain that I couldn't see his. Now I take my meds everywhere I go, even to bed and the bathroom. His younger brother is in his Sr. year of college and is very popular. That causes problems too. Thank you again for the words of hope! dee
