Guess It's My Turn For Thoughts & Prayers

[Dee]

Received a phone call from our son.
He is about an hour from us.
Not in a home that I want him to be in.
Both adults there are also alcoholics.
He just kept saying that he doesn't know what to do and he wishes that someone would tell him.
I have fought with every ounce of my being to save my son from the self destruction path and have exhausted every option.
We know that we can't make the choices for him. He has to be the one!
Taking one day at a time.
On top of this I have a monster of a upper respiratory infection and just want to jump in bed and crawl under the covers for a few days. I'm sure it's viral so a trip to the doc won't do any good.

Love
Dee~~

I'm so glad that you heard from your son. It's very tough to watch our children as adults make mistakes. It sounds like you have tried every avenue you could think of and indeed, it's up to him to make the changes. Hopefully he will realize what he needs to do.

I hope you get over the infection soon. They sure can make you feel miserable.

So glad that you know where he is now, even if it is not where you would like him to be, at least hearing from him is a good sign...

Sending good thoughts that he will make the right decision on which road to follow in this journey called life.

Take care of that cold, don't let is get the best of you.

Hugs,
Carrie

Dee, please take care of yourself. I'm sure your resistance is probably stressed right now. All you can do at this point is pray for him and love him when he gives you the oportunity. I hope he will realize what he is doing to himself soon.

Love, Shirley

Hi Dee, I'm so sorry for the trial you are going through. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. You have been so kind and giving to me and everyone on this board. I know it will return a hundred fold to you. I hope you will be blessed with the strength you need to get well and cope with this. You are not alone, JoAnn

Hi Dee, I am sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well on top of all the worry about your son. Our worries are never over, even when things are good! I can relate to you and I will pray for you and yours. Life is so precious and short.

There is always hope, and hopefully he will realize that and he will get the help he needs to get well. Glad to know you heard from him.

I've lost so many to drugs and alcohol, I feel for you.

Maybe you should go to bed for a few days. You need to take care of YOU. he will find his way...

Love to you and be strong dear sister!
