> I'm 21, and I know it will be hard for you son to change his life. It's not easy. All I want to do is be like everyone else, but I've learned I've gotta look out for my health first off. I'm glad that you're looking forward to your son coming home. He's lucky to have a mom who cares about him so much!!!!!
Deneb - thanks for your support! I hope you're feeling better than you were. In fact I hope you're feeling GREAT!!! ((((((((you)))))))))
Hi Gee - Yup - I don't even know HOW he's going to change his life!!! I think the best way would be to go to Narcotics Anonymous to meet some folks who might have been through similar stuff; at least that might help him not feel as isolated as I think he's probably going to feel!
Thanks for saying he's lucky to having me as a mom. Today I while having my naturopathic appointment at the School of Naturopathy, the intern was massaging my shoulders & we were trying to figure out some feelings I was having also & in reply to "why don't you think you deserve to be happy?" I BURST into tears & said, "I must be a really bad mother for my son to be so messed up!" & cried & cried. The crying was therapeutic & part of me knows I AM a good mom - supportive, loving, caring etc. I guess another part of me questions it.
Maybe part of being a mother IS thinking we're not good ones!!
Thx for the ongoing support. It means alot & it's nice to have the input from a 21-yr-old guy!
