My son came by my work today to see if I could print out something for him. He's selling his car. :( He looked really good except for the anxiety and worry he has. Can't seem to find a job. SOBER....and for a time too because he wasn't even shaking.
I in turn had a tough time not wanting to help him. WOW....it was so hard but I did it. My anxiety was through the roof. Now that he is gone lets see how long it will take me to carm down and work through my worry and hurt for him. I cry....
Work in progress here..... prayers and hope ESH

Definitely praying, Cathy. I'm proud of you for standing firm. It was good that you stood strongly in front of him. It's okay to cry afterward. Just keep praying and seeking peace. Good job!
Great Job Cathy! You know your advice to others, now find strength in that. You helped him today. You did not go to him, he came to you and you did only what he asked and no more. That's Great! You helped him by doing only that. There is nothing else that needs to be done today or tomorrow. You can let that go and let God take the rest over. I understand wanting to cry, to reach out to him to hold the son you had. This is still not him but sounds like it may be a start. He's doing it and should be scared on his own to find that job. He's doing it, your program you are working is working for you and possibly him. If not for him, then at least for you.
Progress, dear girl,progress!! On your part, and his too. Ah ,this journey...this unpredictable, unbelieveable journey. The good, the bad and the ugly.....so glad you had a good experience with him....it's all baby steps!
