Powerless


Boy this is my week for "powerless" lessons. My oldest son (32 yrs) has been sober for just over a year...he chooses to do it without any help. He also battles with bi-polar and recently went off his meds. He was on an up swing at the time and did well for a few weeks but now he has crashed again with deep depression and can't function.....  I'm doing my best to keep the focus on myself and turn him over to his HP. It's so hard though when it's my kids.  I have a tendancy to turn them over to HP with instructions instead of trusting his plan for them, Silly me :) Oh well I'm doing my best.... deep breath.

I'm also facing an extended family issue that I realize I have no control over. I was invited in by my elderly Mom who really knows how to push my white knight button. I made a few suggestions but no one was interested so I need to let it go. Looks like a big old train wreck about to happen and theres nothing I can do ecxept get off the tracks. I'm going to ask my HP for a little push cause my feet don't feel like moving.

Thanks for listening

Hi Melody

Loved your honesty  I too gave my son to HP "WITH INSTRUCTIONS"smile

Stay focused on yourself and your recovery. 

One Day at a Time, with HP this too  will  pass

In my thoughts and prayers.
