Happy Thanksgiving..


I'm still laying in bed watching a good life time movie at my sister in laws.. At this time I feel at peace.. I was laying here thinking last year at this same time and also 3 years ago at this same time.. My son has ruined my holidays due to his actions.. The only difference is I need to let him go and find his way. He and I briefly texted a little bit. I told him that I love him and that will never change but for my health and his we need to not be around each other. To be very honest.. I hurt, I am angry that he made a choice after a while in recovery and we are back to were it all started again. I love him and I am praying for both of us. I need to be strong for my family that I am with today. I am grateful for a lot but I really thought this time would be different. He is suppose to be moving to an SLE this weekend I believe. But I told him my home is no longer an option. I have to remember he is a grown man and he knows what he has to do. I can not get in his way..

Gaby,

 

Love hearing today you are taking care of you.  Put down the enabling.  Feel your emotions and realize he must stand on his own with his own HP's help.  Be gentle with you, as you too are also HP's precious gift. Keep coming back.

 

Peggy
