I remember George Best, Mags. There was a similar (though not as dramatic) situation with a media personality here.
We see it. I see it in my daughter too, but there’s no way to block her path, just look how we went despite our parents. Crazy.

I want adult relationships with my children, but after 7-9 years of recovery, I’m kind of giving up. My rock is my best friend who really puts it well that our kids are just caught up in their lives and I guess it’s their business to reflect on lost opportunities at a later date when we are gone. We can only try. But accepting the line of what I can change and what I can’t is a daily mantra.
just sharing my path here, and thank you for sharing yours, PJ and Mags xx

Hi everyone , congrats on anniversaries I’ve missed. The TWINS. Crois & Bob.
hope you are feeling better Bob.
Im just at the end of COVID. Been doing a lot of sober reading.
Glad you and Roxy are getting in walks pj
such a shame we don’t have the relationships with our kids that we wish for. Things are too late to change now. As my psych said ‘ this may be their life lesson to learn once I have gone ‘ .
sad to think that way , but family isn’t close like it used to be. Everything is done by texting and impersonal messages .
im glad I was born in the 60s .
I hope you are all well. I think of you all the time , my dear friends xx

I have a massive garden with a zillion plants, inside as well. 
I am flat-out with my copyediting course. Doing two classes right now, and I have five assignments and an exam this week. Oy.
Sending you oodles of healing love

Thinking of you, dearest John. We will go with you.

I don't know about the row part Snoozy love; more like I have ducks all over the show, and I have no hope of herding them.

I’m up late but wanted to say it was great to see you post, Snooz. Much love. Hope you are ok.xx
Brave, John. Baby steps, big steps, sideways steps, backward steps…we are all learning to dance in our own way. Awkward and clumsy though it may be.

so hoping things will start moving in the next few weeks.
