mom-of-3

After 5 days of binge drinking it seems like things have settled down a bit with our middle son, JM.  Thankfully, he can talk to us and even listen to what we gently say to him - unlike our youngest...

I am stronger than I'd ever imagine I'd be considering my circumstances.  Middle son didn't come home right away after he said he needed to go back to his ex-girlfriend's house to download something...

Okay -  not that I thought that the last time I found a computer dust can under my son's bed that that was an isolated incident that it wasn't going to happen again  but  this time I just couldn't...

My 19 year old son T-Man didn't come home last night because he said he was working on homework all night as his friend's house.  I believe him because of who he was with and I know that's how he's...

Now that I'm putting more responsibility on T-Man - he's resisting and shutting down.  He was supposed to work from home (through a friend of ours) so that he could make some $ toward his court...

Wow -  I've come a long way baby!  And thankfully my middle son is benefiting from it as well.  I was off from work today JM had asked if I would drive him to school (I needed the car) so that he...

Paid our middle son's court fees.  Husband's upset because I don't want to pay our youngest son's court fees.  I messed up.  I know that middle son can pay us back because he has a job so I...

It's a good thing that I have the support and faith because otherwise I would be falling apart right now.  My middle guy ~ whose been doing awesome ~ happy, mature, fun to be around, helpful,...

I am glad that, although I cannot do anything to help my sons, that I have the programs to focus on to help other parents.I am so excited about my "additional" program that I can hardly contain...

Call it a mother's intuition, call it having eyes in the back of my head, call it whatever ya want ~ I was right.  Although I knew he huffed the computer aerosol spray hearing it from another mom...

T-Man had very big bags under his eyes today.  When he went outside to have a smoke my gut told me to check his room.  I haven't done THAT in awhile.  So I look under his bed, see computer dust...

Things must being going much, much better for me since the last time I've written in this journal was February 18th!  Now gearing up for our spring parent/student education program scheduled for May...

My highly functioning alcoholic 21 year old son is starting to show signs and cannot hide his abuse.  He's been staying over night quite a bit here and there at various friends' houses.  Last...

Well - not necessarily "breaking news" because my collar bone isn't broken.  There is something going on though.  Pen Pal -  God love ya.  You've been trying to get me to see a doctor for quite...

I am a much healthier person today in more ways than one ~ spiritually, mentality, physically, and emotionally.  I don't even have any more intermittent funky days.  Having said that ~ OF COURSE ~...
