Dear tjp,

"Mama's" hugs to you. I pray for your son and you. We are all in my prayers daily. What else can I do.

Blessings.

TJP, I'm so sorry for this latest stumble and do hope his withdrawals are as easy or as hard as it takes to helpmthisyoyng man see it isn't a way to live.

Seven online, I so agree with you about parenting. Parents often take too much blame and too much credit for what our older kids do. It is their life. Not ours. Their choices, their hard work, their mistakes......and we can guide lovingly, but ultimately, it's still up to them.

I am glad you got to get away for awhile and see your friend I am sure that was good for the soul. I always felt better when my oldest AS was in jail because I knew he was off the streets. I am still praying for you and your son and the rest of us here as well.
