hello, i just read your comment in hot flashes and said to myself I have to met this woman it was so funny. I read your profile and I'm so very sorry for what you are facing.... you are right unless you are there you have no idea. I have 4 grown children going on 12 :0) and 3 grandchildren and I am not seeing the newest one as the drama with daughter is over the top for me. So I do feel a touch of the pain, but nothing of the pain you are facing... I will pray for you and am here to chat with if you'd like, real glad you are here! Rene'
Hang in there -- you are not crazy. I think all the mothers out there feel like you do - we have so much sadness and anger for all the things they are missing and we are also missing all the dreams we had for them. But his decisions really have nothing to do with us - we didn't cause him to make those decisions and we can't make or control him to choose the right decisions. I sure wish we could. My son's 19 and in state jail as a felon - got off easy = will be out end of Nov. I'm excited but scared. Think I need to do tough love and have him find a program where he can live there and find work. I think if he comes home, I'll want to believe whatever he tells me because when I look at him my heart breaks and I'm seeing that little boy he was, but he's not that little boy any more and I, as his mother, no matter how much I love him, can't control the decisions he makes. It breaks my heart to see him not living up to his potential and to be where we are now --- knowing both of our lives have been hurt and wondering how we'll survive any more heart ache. If he has a drug/alcohol problem you might try to go to some Alanon programs. I went before and they helped --- I just need to commit to going back. Take care of yourself. Let me know if you want to talk. You're not crazy - you're a mom who loves their child!
Try to hang in there!!!
A hug for someone special :)
thanks for the prayer and encouraging words. My biggest issue is that didn't really need too much to be satisfied.I just did not expect to have to deal with all this extra baggage. stay in touch,
my name is Lynnette. I am a 46 year old. i am a social worker in a clinic in clerwater. i have 1 son that is currently in county jail for 4 months awaiting trial and is facing 10 to 30. My life ended on January 12. I have so many emotions bottled up inside of me. I have a wondeful support group of my church family but no one knows what you are going through eccept someone that has been there. That is why i am here.
