Haven't posted in some time...update
Permalink  

I have been lurking and reading but haven't posted in quite some time. There have been some changes in my life -

I met a wonderful man after being on my own for over 15 years. Don't know how this relationship will unfold but I am very happy with the direction this is taking. I decided to take early retirement and have not yet decided if I want to work part-time or just enjoy each day as it comes. As for my son, I have not heard from him since last June, at which time he was living in a halfway house. Shortly after he relapsed once again and ended up in detox for the umpteenth time. The person who was in charge at the halfway house informed me that they would give my son another chance. As far as I know, he is back living there but has not been in touch with me or any family members. It's like he has fallen off the face of the earth.

I miss him as we always had a good relationship and pray every day that he is doing fine and hopefully working the program. It has taken me a very long time to finally let go and to realize I have no power over his choices, but it hurts my mother's heart.

Thank you all for being here and for all your ESH.

Happy to see you Rose....I'm glad your still around. It's nice to have someone in your life that can support you and love you for who you are. I pray it go's well.

Prayers for your son that he is doing the next right thing and that someday he will come back into your life as grown and happy man. I would think the greatest happiness would be having your son back...I know I would.

((( hugs )))) and continue to take care of yourself.
