Aloha family..."No" is a complete sentence right?  This time acting it out is better than verbalizing it because it was my Grand Daughter who I love to pieces who told me or was she asking hmmmm "you have to talk to dad (my eldest son who has relapsed)".  Loving her permits me to give a bit of a longer response, "Your dad ain't gonna talk with me", and she nodded to that cause it is the truth.  He and my Daughter-in-law have pretty much completely abandoned their children who are in so many positions of disarry and I'm assured that there is a God who is keeping them breathing.  Won't describe the picture cause I don't want to add to the trauma drama some of you may be feeling also.  I've extended the invitation to the kids that they can come here and participate with us at our home and they don't and I know how that goes...been there done that sick and no energy mind, body, spirit and emotions myself.  This is the merry-go-round called denial (ever read that Al-Anon pamphlet?...darn good and I recommend it) as I went thru this with his Mom my former addict.  Been there and done that and "No" aint going back.  I do prayers like the rest of you here...I don't do miracles.   It's being left up to HP.   Put me on your prayer lists please....Mahalo Nui  (((((hugs))))) smile

I'm so very sorry this is happening. To have children involved in the terrible disease is a tragedy.

Your family is in my prayers that they will see what they are doing to the children.

(((( hugs ))))

Gads Debber...I was just on that page for a moment and realized I wasn't taking baby steps...Patience so that HP can listen to the prayers and send out instructions.

Gotta watch my self talk also...the negative fantasy could make me very wealthy in Hollywood.  Telling myself "No".   Thank you family.  (((hugs))) smile

Jerry, Im sorry you are going through this again but you are showing us all how to deal with it. Your understanding of the disease and compassion for you family shines through your post along with your awareness of your own control, which is none. You are where I want to be, serene, despite the chaos.

 

I was amazed when I read that leaflet, I had played all the parts and it helped my awareness grow. Thanks for sharing.x
