Once again I'm overcome with all your compassion. I used to go to my inbox for mindless stuff from family and friends, now I come here for support, compasssion and sharing with total strangers. God works in mysterious ways! Thank all of you for responding. I read it all and I'm trying to put it to use. Faith is a huge part of getting thru this--at least for me. I'm tring to do it on a personal level as I was raised catholic and have had "issues" with them for years, yet because of the way I was taught and raised I can't attend a church of a different faith without feeling somehow disloyal. Yet if I paid them enough money, they could make marriages dissappear and I would be in good enough standing to be able to go to communion--for all non-catholics, that's a huge thing! It's that catholic guilt or brainwashing--something. The thing I am having the worst time with is this: my son was never baptised. His older sister was, (she too has had drug problems on and off for years--currently doing well for over a year) then I got so frusrated with the church that I decided he could choose his own faith when he got older. Big, huge, mistake. I really dropped the ball there. Not only do I have to worry every day that he will die without being baptised, but I have to know that I denied him a religious background that may have had to fall back on now. I'll never know if it would make a difference, but I agonize over it daily. Thanks again all of you. Still praying here! For us all!
