Hey, SWOT, I took your advice and obviously (!) am at the Watercooler, but am not seeing any signs of who still likes the idea to the extent that they might show up. I know I was ambiguous in my last post on Parents Emeritus, I was thinking that nobody REALLY wanted to do it, which I totally...

My heart is broken for you. I can only say that on this site, you will find the most wonderful, caring, loving, empathetic people. We love you, we understand your pain and we care.

Hey all, I can see there are different responses to the idea of a meet up-I hope you don't think I'm trying to force the issue and would hate anyone to feel obligated to go. I know that time and money can be tight, so I totally understand if it's not convenient. I had just wondered if it was...

Thanks, SWOT, I will check it out. I would get a lot out of meeting you all, but I understand if people are reluctant. Apple, I'm not really sure how I'm doing-kind of treading water. People think I'm doing okay, because I put a good front on it, or push my feelings down, but every now and then...

Almost 60. Absolutely lost. Son who brought me to this forum is now dead from OD. Have lots of fences to mend.

So, where and when?

Hey guys, sorry I'm so out of the loop- last time I checked in, we were thinking of all getting together in August. Maybe somewhere out east/midwest? Please let me know if this is still happening or has happened. I place the highest value on seeing the people in real life who supported and...

Hi, SWOT, so good to see your reply! I don't feel you are overstepping your bounds at all in what you said. You didn't offend me in the least and I agree with you. I think that the body's energy has to go somewhere and for me, even though I was brought up dyed in the wool Catholic (with Irish...

59 years old-how did THAT happen? Semi-retired and working so I can save money to travel the world.

...and I'm wondering if it's okay to refer some posters to it. Not as a bid for attention, or a false kind of "This can happen to YOU, if you do/don't do what I did"... It's just that I used to come here to read or post on a regular basis and sometimes, I never found out what happened to the...

I would LOVE to meet you all! Could never have survived the pain without your collective love and support. Count me in, please!

Hello, to my good friends. I haven't been on here for a while and haven't had the "need" to, since Aaron died. That's not really true-I haven't found the support that equals anything like I had here, when he was alive and we were all going through such hell. It's 9 months today since he was...

My dear friends, thank you all so much for your support and sympathy. You have never failed to understand and help me and I could never have survived this horrendous journey without you all. The site and all its warriors was my inspiration to keep going, knowing that there were so many others...

Found crumpled up on someone's front yard a few hours ago. Autopsy tomorrow. No real details yet. I am on vacation in Spain but will be flying back tomorrow. There are no words...

Just got a call from him. He's not on jail. He THINKS he got arrested and released with a warning but can't remember. Because he bought some Valium from a kid and drank wine, so blacked out. He wanted money because he left his backpack at a guy's house but doesn't know where it is and his phone...

Thanks for all the wisdom and support. I will be going on my trip and never had any intention of cancelling it-that would really be giving him too much control! Latest is a text from him last night, that he was being arrested. He has only been on his own since Thursday. Not sure if I can take...

Difficult Child was getting into so much trouble in Boulder and then Denver (people trying to kill him, he said-could be drug/booze fuelled psychosis) that his dad bought him a ticket to Vegas, where he lives, and then they left the next day to drive to San Diego , where Difficult Child was born. Dad is staying with him...

Totally feeling you, SWOT! Difficult Child just called asking for money (dad sent him $15 on Thursday, I sent him $20 on Friday) and when I didn't cave, the whole slanging match started. Dredging up all manner of things-it's my fault that he did/didn't do something, when was the last time I was there for...

You are not alone and everything you are feeling is legit. Detachment, to me, is a LIFELONG process and is one that I have certainly NOT mastered, despite the INFINITE wisdom of all the people who post on these forums. I am a constant reader of this wisdom, hoping to find something that...
