 Hi Heather and Doug
God is great! I was watching a movie (the weatherman- an interesting marriage and kids study) I got up and something drew me to check the board. First thing I read was your “I am so mad” post. Boy could I relate to a lot of that. Then I scrolled down and saw your inquiry about me. That is one of the many reasons that I say God is great. He drew me to this board because you were asking about me. Things are a lot better for me as far as my wife goes. She has over 11 months of sobriety in. As Doug said, my kid is going through a lot of crap but things are peaceful around here now. I am still tired from all that hell but stuff is way better than it was. Peace is a good thing. She is currently in the workhouse (she finally got sentenced) She will be there for about a month and then she will have 5 months of house arrest. I guess time will tell if she really wants to be clean or if she is just biding her time until her legal stuff blows over. Either way I still have to concentrate on myself. It is simple but hard. Take care of me first. (not in a selfish way but in a healthy way) If I don’t I can’t take care of anyone. I am glad to hear that you took a strong stand Heather. Boy do I know the manipulation and the fake caring about family etc. And all the other stuff too. It hurts like hell and I wish you didn’t have to go through that. Your little boy’s pain is especially tough. Oh what this drug does! You are doing the right thing Heather. Just keep relying on God and somehow things will work out.
I don’t want to make my situation sound like a “they lived happily ever after thing” The marriage hasn’t really recovered. We don’t fight but things are not the same. But that is all right. I think it might have been Giving Back or maybe Been There who said that “the way things were before” (before meth) were circumstances that led to meth so why would someone want to go back to that time? So I try to keep it simple and take care of what I have to take care of and leave the rest. Both of my sons are doing their share of chemicals. I am learning to understand the pain that parents of users go through. Fortunately I don’t think they are doing meth but I know that meth use is prevalent with teenagers.
Thanks so much for caring and thinking about me Heather and of course thanks to Doug. Doug helped me through my some of my darkest hours and I forever indebted to him. I will try and post some more as I am indebted to this board. Giving back and Been there and Hulalea and so many others. God bless all of you
