Thanks for the advise Ann. I had to search for a while but I was able to find the gun powder. It was a little old and the cannon was rusty but it fired just fine. Sesame Street will never be the same.
I was trying to put this whole thing back on a recovery level and here is what I came up with.
I can't control my son's sobriety, their relationship, my husbands feelings, my son's feelings or the outcome of trying to hep my son get a leg up.
I can control what I will participate in, my own determination in staying focused on my goal, not allowing myself to be pulled under or distracted by their craziness.
The problems we had when my son was younger was getting distracted with our own fights and then he was off the hook. Instead of dealing with the problem we would fight about the solution. That will not happen this time.
Did you know that red fur gives you super powers?
Thanks to all...it really is nice to have a soft place to hurl yourself when things aren't going well!!!
