I exploded on T-Man.  Well - not "exploded" per say but I guess you could say I lost it.  I am so frustrated with him.  I can't stand it. I can't stand the fact that I let it get to me.  I wish...

I woke up to the smell of smoke.  Husband had left for work.  I came downstairs and saw all the windows open and the fans going.  J got home very late (and fortunately hubby had to leave early)...

J's ex-girlfriend texted me in the middle of the night last night to tell me what he texted her.  He said "That I don't think I will live through this month.  He said he won't be around in August."...

The doctor called today to tell me that he has some good but annoying news. The good is that it's not cancer.  The annoying (I like the way he put it) is that I have to have surgery because I have...

I'm doing okay because I believe that my test results will be fine BUT every now and then I can't help but go down that road that I may hear bad news.  I know it's on my mind when I'm sleeping...

Well, I had the biopsy.  The one I had done is called a stereotactic biopsy.  It was a bit weird because I had to lay on a table face down with a hole in the table so that they could work...

I shouldn't have given my husband a hard time about going to play tennis - it's just that he plays a lot (Tues, Wed, Sat, and sometimes Sunday) and he is involved in tons of other things ~ including...

Today we have our other fundraising golf outing.  It's the one that raises funds for families of adolescents with chemical dependency issues who need help with the cost of what their insurance won't...

I had a feeling that something was up with J.  He's really hurting BIG TIME.  It's one thing about the drinking but it's another having the depression.  When do you help and when do you not?...

Yesterday ~ I volunteered and my husband golfed in the suicide prevention organization.  It went well and we had fun.  The money raised is to educated area school students on the "how to" to help a...

Yesterday didn't work out as I had hoped.  We met with J and his doctor and ...... J refused and became upset.  Doctor said he has strong concerns about J since he expressed to him that he has had...

I am praying that J will accept the help.  He woke up on the couch this morning with the TV on, an empty bottle of beer on the table beside him, a messy kitchen and the van was missing from the...

I woke up yesterday morning having a text message waiting for me.  It was from J's former girlfriend.  She sent it at 4:30AM.  The deal she and J made with J's counselor (she attended one...

I can't believe it!  Our son J came home yesterday after seeing his new doctor ~ a psychiatrist specializing in both mental health and addictions ~ and told me that he's going to be starting...

I was having a rather "unstable" moment yesterday and THIS frame of mind was AFTER an Al Anon meeting ~ go figure.  I am so mad at myself for leaving a rather idiotic message on my son's psych...
