Better

Things are better here.  Not just with me and my "recovery" but with my husband and our boys.  We are not fooled into thinking that our sons are okay but youngest seems to be much better than he once was.  Middle guy?  Let's just say he's functioning. Both of them don't seem to care about their appearance and it's sad because they are two very good looking young men - when they're cleaned up.  Although I know it isn't about what you look like on the outside that counts but ...... it certainly seems to reflect how you feel on the inside. 
Husband is better at standing firm with me than ever before (even if he might not always agree with me) and that united front has helped us all - a lot.  Son knows that my husband has boundaries too - so things are much more peaceful.  
On the advocacy front - things seemed to be taking a life of their own but I really need to focus on the upcoming meeting that consists of all of our town leaders - school, law, church, businesses, advocates, social workers etc.  Yikes!  I cannot believe how I've been procrastinating on this project and it's less than two weeks away......... And so I pray.....
