Just wanted to say thank you to everyone. This site has clarified everything. I see I am not crazy and not alone. It is sad that so many of our stories are similar, but yet so different.

I am so thankful that everything happened so fast in May. Found out about the drug use, and he was out. We were divorced by August. It was easier this way. My son didn't have to grow up around an addict.

It was very painful. Now just sad. But I have seen my growth. Finally, I don't know how, but it all just clicked. He is addict and I am done. I have accepted this.

I still think about him everyday, but not like before. I still love him but have let him go.

I am healing and rebuilding my life. And I am starting to see that slowly it does get better. And that nothing makes me happier than seeing my son happy, and he is...we are.

Life changes and that is ok. Its how you deal with what life gives you. I have learned so much about myself and can say that I am proud of myself for getting through this.

I'm sure I will still have some more bad days, but I am feeling stronger and stronger.

I wish nobody this pain.

Sending blessings to you all and thanks so much to this site.

Story - good to hear from you. I think you and I were going through some chaos about the same time. Like you, I feel stronger and a new sense of purpose. Thanks for sharing your strength and story too.

Hugs to you!

The wonderful thing about life is that it is every changing.

Bad days don't last forever and pain will heal with time.

I've learned to trust that and just let myself be led.

Thank you for sharing your evolvement, from pain to growth and from sadness to new beginnings. Keeping you and your child in my prayers.

Hugs

Your son is INCREDIBLY fortunate to have a mother with such clear-cut fortitude. It will in large part be the making of him.

Well done.
