Thanks Susan for keeping the parent check-in alive.
I am refocusing and remembering what I know about detachment. Putting it to practice one day at a time. I know that fear is the enemy.
As you know, my son was home for 6 mos. and I got real attached to him as he was off drugs for the 1st few of those mos. We did a lot together and had a relationship like we'd never had before. Once his addiction spiraled, it all went sideways. Now he is
M.I.A.. again.
I am starting a home remodel, doing the necessary groundwork in order to reactivate my career and deciding if I want to return to work, making travel plans, etc.
My husband had been working in another state and he is now home.
There is much in my life to have gratitude for.
There is an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach for my son. As the days pass, I know I will be okay no matter how he is living.
It is sad to know he is back in destructive addiction. I miss him. I am practiving Letting go and letting God.
