RE: I tell myself STOP resisting Find the LESSON!
I'm in a similar situation. So I deeply feel your pains and concerns. I have a 7 year old boy whose mother is an addict(just through rehab after a dozen felony charges) and a a thief..out of rehab a week(and clean) and she steals from Walmart with our son with her. She's currently back in jail. And he has to deal with the struggles in his heart and the demons in his head. In the last week I've went through about every emotion known to us. And most of them at 100%. It's exhausting on so many levels to deal with an addict that also has a child. Anyway, I've posted on some of it. So if you want more info, rather then me type it all again(😀) check out my place and if you have any questions or would just like to talk, feel free to come by my place any time. I'm sorry to hear you are also dealing with like circumstances, but I will ask the creator to keep you strong and lend you guidance and strength. I also send all my love to you and all of yours.
I can not thank you enough for your genuine care about my situation. So glad I am following you, I will be sure to be reading your posts. So good to know that we have others to confide in. It makes all the difference in the world. I have joined a lot of support groups and it really helps. I am learning so much. Many blessings to your family. I see we are having the same struggles and your right, your 7 year old my 8 year old they are the ones that suffer. My grandson just turned 8 and when he sent his mother a letter in jail , I said draw what ever you want and out he came with a picture of his mom behind bars standing beside a policeman. He wrote Dear mom, I love you. Please don't go to jail again. Quit breaking the law. I almost fell over but I sent it because that is what he really felt and she really needed to hear it.
You're more then welcome. And I am happy you have found ways to deal with it AND maintain such a level of positivity. After reading a couple of your posts, I found myself a little envious of your optimism. Evans doing pretty good. (Mom's been gone all last two months, minus one week.) I'm really fortunate to have a fiancee that is an extremely great positive role model for Evan. He's been dealing with it his whole life unfortunately. Any more he doesn't ask about her much any more. There will always be moments I'm sure. But for now the storm has calmed. I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and will always ask our creator for relief in your ciurrent situation. I hope that your grandson will grow using your knowledge and love. With you in his life, I am sure he will grow to be a great man.
