Good Morning all

The son is on another cycle of drinking or drugs so will this time when he either gets hurt or comes down hard and he starts calling will I stay on my side of the street this time.  Last time was my mistake of going to the hospital when I really didn't need to. 

This is like starting again for the 200th. time not to go to the rescue whether helping or not.  I want to just stay completely away and watch what happens. I'm going to treat it like a test on me.  Will I pass.....we will see.

 

Have a blessed Sunday MIP family...

(((Cathy)))

I am so sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself. I see you getting stronger every day.

We have snow and sleet here - it makes me miserable. This time of year is especially hard but we will get through it.


((((((hugs))))))

This is another practice opportunity Cathy.  I got mine and was glad for each and everyone of them.  When my son was younger and "running" I divorced  him and did not invite  him on to my side of the street.  I took his phone calls of crises including "I'm in the hospital...I've been stabbed" and asked him "is it fatal"?  He said "no" and I told him "good...take care of yourself".   The crises can and will take over my life if I allow it to .  My responsibility seems to be if and when I allow it to and I won't again not even now after he has relapsed at a much older age and has sunk the family boat.   I'm done...all done.   Letting God.   ((((hugs)))) smile

C, not sure how you found out he is on another cycle....but do you think things would be easier if you blocked his texts and phone calls....I know things were much easier for me if I didnt know what was going on. .....og
