The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
Guess what???!!! My son called me last night. He has not called or contacted me in in over 10 weeks.
I had called him on the day i got out of the hospital, I said I am ok. He says,"what?" Said I had my surgery. he says,"that is not until the 26th." I said, "today is the 26th." He got quiet then I have NO idea what was said, all I know is I hungup.
It has been horribly hard.
But I detached, loved him, asked HP to watch him.
Anyway he called at midnight, his huge mastiff/newfy got into a fight with a beaver...so I had to tell him what to do. He calls at 3am I told him again and reassured him Gabe will be ok.
He says to me, "I am glad I could call you. mom." I said,"you can call at anytime honey!"
So ya see, I allowed both my grown babies...sigh to come back to me and they see now I am stable I am mom and I do not change or go into emotional tirades.
It is like living with an A. We learn to be ourselves again. We don't have to change just becuz they do.
I told my kids I have changed. Grown up, mellow, stable, very even emotionally.I have learned to go thru the hard stuff and really mean,"everything will be ok no matter what." I learned that is true.
I is called serenity. I don't lose it anymore.Does not mean I don't cry, but I have instant faith, as it is always there.
My kids needed to go away, come back and see, wow she is the same. Calm, ready to answer questions if they ask, ready to give whatever I can.No more yelling, screaming, crying horribly, losing all control.
stable. Cannot believe it, haha I am stable.
Hp has given me such a gift there.
I am even having my grandson coming to spend the day with me! My Sprout and I. I just know with all these animals, a mountain to climb, lots of toys, kids movies.....we will be throwing rock into the pond allll day! lol lol
Had to share. Al Anon is amazing, as is my HP who is for me, the creator of all things.
Just NO comparison of my life before.
Keep coming, keep doing, use those tools. There are miracles happening all the time.

RESTORED TO SANITY, is what comes to my mind, thankyou for sharing this lyndebi, I had a similar experience last week with our daughter, just a small thing over my phone, I gave it to her to use, and then misplaced it, we had gone shopping and she phoned it from hers, no answer and so I said I might take a walk to my car and see if it's there, she said I gave it you back, I said it's ok really, she phoned it again, and it was inside the door panel her side, and she said BUT YOU, i said hey honestly it's not a problem really it isn't, no expalnation needed, end of, NO EMOTIONAL TIRADES, bless you Lyn debi xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'm so happy for you. Serenity is a beautiful thing and even more precious to those of us that have to work hard to get it. Enjoy your grandson. They grow so fast. I just had 2 of mine yesterday. We had a wonderful day. Dad picked them up a little after 6 p.m. Mom carried one up to bed at 7:15 p.m. So exhausted she didn't even wake up when Mom put her jammies on... It was a GOOD day! Thanks for the share... it reinforces what is truly important.
I am very happy for you and blessed that you shared, for many reasons we should all post when we feel really good or maybe even really bad, never know when we may help someone else. Thanks for helping me today
Sully moostiff sends Gabe well wishes and the advice to BOOF louder it keeps the gutter opossum and racoons out of his yard but the bunnies and squirrels must have hearing impairments
Hi (((Debra))) Thanks so much for your wonderful post. Serenity, peace of mind, what a wonderful gift it is. And what a wonderful feeling to know it's always there, although it's sometimes difficult to find our way to it. I am so happy for you. I hope you and your grandson do your best to fill that pond with rocks; toss in a few for me!
Thinking of you and praying for your continued serenity!
Denise
