*Always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Things are okay at the moment, thankfully. I still panic when the phone rings, like it just did a moment ago. The caller ID was from our sons' school....

Last year - almost to the day - our middle guy (who was 24 then) revealed to us (my husband too) that he had a heroin problem that started with prescribed pain medication he needed for the...

Middle son revealed a week ago Thursday that he's struggling with a heroin problem. Managed to detox on his own after learning that the center had a two week waiting list. So far so good. Said he...

Was concerned about my middle guy, J, as he reported that he gave his two week notice at the restaurant he works for because he couldn't stand the owner and how he treats the crew - but the drama is...

It's been some time since I've written in this.  My buddy, Bambusue, and I have been exchanging messages back and forth for months.Thought I'd write on this now because it's been awhile.  Having...

For as far away as we were from Hurricane Sandy (midwest) ~ it affected our area more than anyone anticipated. Compared to what happened on the east coast - what we experienced was nothing but it was...

It's officially less than a month away from the community forum I've started and found myself in charge of. Right now I've been putting it out of my mind - on the back burner. That said - it keeps...

This month marks the 6th year of being on this site. Little did I know back then when I joined what was in store for me and my family. All of my 3 boys went through some tough times. Girlfriend...

Well, my hubby and I drove T back to school - a 3 1/2 hour drive the other day. This year he's living in an apartment (that is very nice) with two other people. It's not a short walk for him so he'll...

Despite the consequence of jail - T came out smellin' like a rose.  He was only in there for two days for probation violation for an underage drinking charge he had last year. Because he didn't have...

T was ordered to go to jail for two days for probation violation. He needed something because he was so carefree about the whole thing. Not a care in the world. I feel for him but maybe it'll it do...

Let go and Let God. It was so much easier to do that in some ways when my son wasn't doing as well. I know it sounds strange but I hoped for consequences when he was struggling because I thought of...

Today after my meeting I have to take T-Man to either the ER or the doctor. He sprained or broke his ankle playing pick up baseball. He's also supposed to go for a drug assessment for his court date...

I left my journal entry "open" on my computer and T had to use it because he couldn't use his at the time. Well, I just started writing in it but didn't even complete the whole thought. What he read...

What a difference now compared how I used to try and manage and control things in my life and my sons. Letting go and Letting God more and more on a daily basis has helped me so much when faced with...
