Maybe some of the people who have been posting their comments for a long time.... remember me??
Life is not simple.... though I am trying to see the events that are going on with my sons as answers for them. Maybe they need to start choosing better partners? I think so..... I have not posted for a few years now, I find it difficult to say what has been happening to our family for the last two years. I would really appreciate it.... if some prayers could be said for my sons. I know that it would help them right now.
I've come in and out of this forum as well, but I'm always grateful that it is still here. I will pray for your sons tonight, I'll add them to my prayer for my son.
Please keep posting, and when you feel like it, fill us in on your two years....
Thank you for the positive comments. I have never left the Al-Anon meetings. I am very active in the program still. I sponsor four people in my group. It is helpful to be a sponsor, since much of what I suggest to others, it is so often what I need to say to myself. The situations that I have been involved in with my sons have been so difficult. It has iimplied the police, all of us have had death threats, all of our lives had become unmanagable. One son went through a complete burnout, his partner had him put in jail for one night, she had said that he had threatened her life, which was not true etc. The police let him go the next morning, since it had been another one of her lies. It is all part of the drug and alcohol consumption. I am grateful that my HP has kept me strong enough to continue to help others, because I never lost the faith. Last week my other son was beat up by a person who came running up behind him with a metal baseball bat. We were called to the emergency ward where they kept him for four days. He had a motorcycle accident five years ago, and has metal and screws in his back. By the grace of his HP the injury was not directed to the middle of his back, if it had... he would be in a wheel chair today. Yesterday when I posted my message his girlfriend had just been taken to hospital by ambulance, someone had hit her car from the back when she had stopped at a stop sign. I can not begin to fill in more of the details right now of how problematic our lives had become, because there are far too many events. I have a new grandson who is two years old now, I can not see him, because his mother is too dangerous, and there are restraining orders against her, etc....... Thank you to all of you who have empathy and who I can imagine have been through similiar situations, and those who relate to what it feels like to be caught up in the middle of all this turmoil. Thanks again for the prayers and for the empathy you have shared with me.
Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate hearing from you! Happy Thanksgiving Day, I hope that the day went along well for you.
The message board has changed so much and I am not to sure how it works. I will get to know it better as time goes on.
I am feeling alone lately even though I sponsor three people. I have not had a sponsor for the last three months and I feel pretty lost at time.
My sons came over tonight for supper and it was not easy. My husband is a dry alcoholic which is harder, since I do not have hope that he will change. He treated one of my son's very badly and I feel so angry with him.
Thank you for reading my message and I will try to keep in touch more often. I am late in getting back to you and I am sorry that I did not check back into the site sooner.
