The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
At the moment, my son is home for a few days and is not very well. He is having a hard time finding a permanent place to live and unfortunately I cannot help financially as his father is ill with cancer and has no insurance, so that is where my money goes at the moment.
I guess I just need to focus on the good stuff. I know my son feels like I am interrogating him as I am asking quite a few questions but I know there is not much I can do about the situation except pray for it to get a little better and be grateful for the good stuff.
Maire - I too am sending (((Hugs))), Prayers and Positive Thoughts for you and your family. Love your strategy - gratitude does have a way of helping me stay level-headed daily!
