My health is pretty precarious. Ended up I could not walk day before yesterday. Pain was horrible. My nature is to be always on and busy. But this bone disease is stopping me. My son is keeping touch.
All the stress of this month here really got to me. I am not good with things not being consistent. I need a set of rules to follow. Cannot change anything else but me.
Found I cannot accept and be part of something that does not have a board, decision making by a group or forum and not just one person. The inconsistencies makes me uncomfortable. That is just MY experience.
working hard on my place. watched Hotel impossible....motivated me. lol I chose not to do internet at all for awhile. Found I don't get things done being on it too much.
My son is having a very, very hard time. He had not had a female in his life for years. Had had enough.
He met someone, she moved in...he finds out she is using meth. a HUGE mess. HE is so torn apart and angry. He actually called me and asked for advice. told me every detail. All typical addict bs. Of course he realized she is lying, is prostituirng herself, and drinks too. He immediately changed his locks and made it clear she is to stay away.
Makes me so sad. She is such a beautiful girl. Has kids who are great. good family. she is so sick. He fell in love with her as he took her to his cabin, she hunted for frogs, picked mushrooms and is very earthy. yet she is so dang sick.
My heart is broken for him. he has been sick. went to doc and got a huge dose of med. I pray she did not give him something horrible.
When he was sick again, I told him to get her out of there. she was sleeping in her expedition with her two kids. so he lets them stay in his living room. it is locked from rest of house. she is getting an apt. I told him I am being your mother and friend, you are sick. her disease is making you sick. told him I didn't care if he never spoke to me again that I was going to make her go away. that is how much I love him. but told him I know he is a powerful man and I trust him to take care of it. so he let me know he understood how I feel, but he is taking care of it. I know it would have been wrong for me to get into it. I just hit a low point and was super mom bear.
I am not afraid of being hurt or killed when it comes to my loved ones, or anyone who is suffering, I will help if I can.
anyway I shared all our skills, an al anon things.
glory horse was sick, she allowed me to give her injections with out killing me. she is well now. but caught her foot in her coat strap. bad.she was trying to kick it off got me right in the chest. not a good feeling, ugh. but I got it undone she was ok. i am black and blue.
so lots of drama, concern for son, and busy. a time for growing.

Nice to hear from you Deb. Reminding myself that I am powerless over people, places and things helps me at difficult times. I am sorry to hear you have been feeling poorly and that your son is experiencing some trouble with his relationship.
Debilyn, thanks for the update! I've been kicked by a horse before and it is NOT fun! I do hope you heal quickly. So very sorry about your son but it sounds like he is finding out what it is like on the other side of the fence. Sending love and hugs your way!
