Well, life is a challenge. Everything was kinda of ok but 2 weeks ago things changed. My mother's intuition told me to go visit my son in the military. His dad agreed to go with me and we agreed to focus on our son and not let our current relationship get in the way. We found him in a much different condition then at Christmas. What a shock. He has lost 30 pounds, his joints are swollen, he can barely get out of bed and is in alot of pain. He still goes to work. Then, my elderly mother called and said she was scheduled for hip replacement surgery June 5. She will need lots of care. And in the middle of this my second son graduated from college with honors. I am so proud of him. And of course my AHsober coped by zoning out.
This is not easy and I will have to change my plans for the summer for making extra money. This I know for sure: I would not have the ability to cope without the support and tools I have learned in Alanon. Knowing that there is hope and help and a place to go for wisdom is awesome. I have a program that keeps me grounded. I pray and meditate and read my books. And I sit and listen to my HP say that it will all be allright.
My prayers are with you & your family. I understand the terrible stress you must be under but all of us here have you in our thoughts. Stay strong & trust your HP to help you thru this trying time. Hope
