I am hoping to somehow get through this with him but it is the worst hell anyone can ever endure.<br /><br />Really enjoying reading your blog.

Thanks so much for being so transparent. T...Renee,<br /><br />Thanks so much for being so transparent. There is so much here, again, that I relate to ~ the ex-family poisoning children against you and enabling bad behaviors; choosing to keep your head in the sand so as not to have to deal with things you know in your heart are happening; coping with a parent's death... <br /><br />And the last thing you said is that we all have a story to tell, but it is important that we not get stuck in it. So very true.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />CheriAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12298890660755610835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-74861526177190147902009-10-24T07:34:07.857-07:002009-10-24T07:34:07.857-07:00Wow, it's my first visit to your blog and OMG ...Wow, it's my first visit to your blog and OMG you've had it tough. I've been feeling fragile all this week 'cos a dear childhood friend died last weekend, she was only 48. That was oh, so very devastating for me but reading your story . . the word perspective springs to mind. I know the pain of children who hurt you, there is no other pain comparable. You feel like your heart is actually, really breaking and wrenching into millions of shattered parts. God bless you and give you the strength to come through. I will return to come with you on this journey. And. . . thanks for sharing this with us. We appreciate it:)Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656576703356658911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-38903923184169306582009-10-23T10:15:36.162-07:002009-10-23T10:15:36.162-07:00I have just come by through Flash 55 and read this...I have just come by through Flash 55 and read this Act II post. You tell an honest story ~ one riddled with pain; however, you seem to have an encouraging outlook. Certainly taking care of yourself and working your own program is paramount. I hope for you and your son that better days are ahead.<br /><br />I've too had children in and out of rehab. All 5 of mine use to some extent or another. I dare say that I have not been the best example. I hope that the commitment to my program may become a positive influence ~ but in the meantime, it has made me a better me, for me.<br /><br />Hugs to you,<br /><br />Chef KarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-15286746757825077062009-10-20T16:03:17.274-07:002009-10-20T16:03:17.274-07:00Thank you all again for your comments.
