It's been a week...

... and no contact.


Bank account is down to $2.99,
up from last week's $0.44.

Trying to figure out if all this is good or bad.

On a positive note, my other son celebrated his
32nd birthday yesterday.

Isn't life funny, I'm too young to have a 32 year old yet,
I'm too old to go through this again with my 24 year old.

Ah what a wicked web we weave as we go through life.

  1. Celebrate the good things..
    Sometimes they are hard to find, but they are there.

  2. Oh trust me, I have learned through life to enjoy each 'happy' moment because the other painful times come and I must endure.

    Thanks for the encouragement. I can't help but worry and await that dreaded 'phone call'.

  3. I am sorry you are going through these troubles.
    I wonder if there isn't some institution that can take care of him.

    Best of luck.

  4. Thanks MK, but he has to want to be helped before anything can be done. He knew he had a loving, supportive family that all gave him another chance and everyone offered to 'talk him off the ledge' should he feel the urge to use again. He never took any of us up on that offer when he was contemplating using again.

    His choice, his decisions, his life.

    Oh, I am sure you can tell, in addition to worrying and feeling sad at this situation, I am also dealing with feelings of anger. I am so mad at him for not taking us up on our offer to help him overcome the urge especially after the fresh start he received (and the horrible ordeal I had to deal with) a few short months ago.

  6. Thanks. I've tried three times to write a civil response and failed, so I'll just leave it at thanks.

  7. None necessary, you offered a point of view but I am so angry with him and this addiction. It's ruining our lives and it's affecting me adversely, which it shouldn't because I am not the cause of this.
    No worries, I am biting my tongue.
