a good cry works wonders sometimes

I can relate to you, on a somewhat smaller scale, tho.

my son has been working, going in, on time, riding few miles on bicycle, etc.
doing the things he needs to do, in order to be here.
that includes no drinking.

but, he will get his first pay check soon. I get anxiety thinking of it.
i have been hands off of him- not doing anything for him that he can do for self.
I am kind of proud of it, and like the resulting improved relationship with son.


i am trying to find out what tools i have in my new little toolbox that i found here.
which one will help me not to try to control what he does?

i figure it is gonna be the "Let go, and let God" tool.

and maybe my new "boundary detector"?

i am looking in there for a big sock- to put in my mouth, instead of foot.

I wish i could find the "serenity pill", but i guess that
comes from doing all the above....

in the bottom of my tool box is a note, reminding me of all my new friends here,
who have said they are keeping us in prayer.

that reminds me to "Let go, and let God".
keeping you and your son in my prayers daily,
hugs,
chicory
