    To write a letter or not? Opinions please.

    ANewLife4Me, I understand your confusion and pain. The best thing you can do is sit quietly and ask God for divine guidance as to what direction you should take. For me personally, cutting my daughter off from all communication hit her so deep down that she made a change. She knew I was wore...

    How to cope after crisis with your child?

    Anewlife4me- I am sorry for your hard time. When I had depression I made myself get out and walk. I also walked on the grass barefoot to feel the earth. The one thing that grounds me and moves me beyond depression and stress in to get in a pool of water and move around, even just walking back...

    Climbing into April

    April is coming up soon. Allergies are in full swing. Tomorrow my husband's relative will be here for 5 days. The plans I made for my solo cruise are not going to work out, the ship was sold out. I read and re read all the comments on my last post. New Leaf, you wrote about your toxic father in...

    For those of you who have lost a child….

    Hi lovemysons, I too was very skeptical of mediums, I just did not want to mess with them esp. since odd things happen to me anyway. My son comes through in dreams, noises, birds all kinds of stuff. I know it is him because I feel him. My friends insisted I go and they said they bought the...

    For those of you who have lost a child….

    Lovemysons, Just read your beautiful story about your granddaughter. Such a beautiful spiritually mature girl. Her words can offer peace to the hurting. Many times my son's spirit has made contact. It is what keeps me going. I was invited to see John Edwards twice, did not really want to go but...

    For those of you who have lost a child….

    Thank you Copa, I re read my post, I meant to say my son did NOT have a mental illness, somehow I left out NOT. He was an even tempered, very kind and well adjusted young man. He tried not to lie or steal and was grounded in his faith. He did try out 'lying' in Jr high one time and failed ! He...

    For those of you who have lost a child….

    Thank you ANewLife4Me for your post and compassion. I lost a son to death. Not one day goes by that I do not think of him. Even though his death was the worst thing I have ever experienced, I must admit that when my daughter was at her worst it was almost more painful than my son's death. My...

    Soon it will be March

    New Leaf, My husbands parents were kind and loving to him. His dad was wonderful. His mom was ok but distant to my husband but wicked to all of us in laws. I was not the only one that got it from her. After that, I tried hard to 'have peace within the storm' it was extremely hard to find peace...

    Soon it will be March

    Hi New Leaf, It sounds like your husband was hanging on to his dad just because it was his dad. My husband wants to hang on to his family simply because they are his family. I remind him that true family does not treat you the way they did us. I think more like a spiritual family, people that...

    Soon it will be March

    Thank you Copa. It is so hard to love someone with all your heart and also know they are not healthy for you. I wish your son would age out of the bad behavior, have something substantial happen to him to ground him in the right direction. Copa, You are operating out of balance, health and...

    Soon it will be March

    Hi Nomad, Thank you for your kind words and good thoughts. I recently read that there is a large trend of people ages 55+ that are getting divorced. I certainly do not want that but I certainly do not want demons dragged into my house when we have already suffered so much. I have studied this...

    Soon it will be March

    I am slowly digging my heart out of the mess around here since around New Years Eve. We all went to a party on New Years Eve, daughter included. It was a fancy party. Our daughter wanted to come, the guy she was seeing was out of the country. I think he just told her that, just my gut feeling. I...

    It Could All Change In An Instant

    Oh no New leaf, not the dreaded back sliding. I have felt your words and understand all too clearly the sliding back steps. It is so heart breaking. One of these days I will come on here and read your post that Tornado is makes steps forward and moving forward. It sounds like she is trying to...

    Trading one mess for another

    Hi Copa, I pray you get to live where you are most comfortable. I wish I could live in Albuquerque. I love that place but the drug problem there is way out of hand. People openly shooting drugs even in the good parts of town. The only place I have ever been that I can't leave fast enough is L.A...

    Heartbroken seeking support and advice

    Welcome Roxanne. I read each word and felt your pain and frustration. I remember when my daughter was between the ages of 22-28 she would hardly bathe. While in grade school, middle school, high school she would take a shower everyday. If I was planning on going somewhere with her I told her...

    Trading one mess for another

    I believe you are right Copa. Just one little piece of his family and that little piece is really not good. I know several women that have wayward children. One of my friends has a daughter that is so off track that when I ran into her at a clothes store she cried and talked to me for a couple...

    Trading one mess for another

    Copa, Oh my gosh, 5 little kitties. Thank you for taking care of them. All our animals have been rescues. It breaks my heart to see people breeding animals when the shelters are so full of wonderful animals. Went to the gym with my daughter today. She also bought lunch. She is sweet and odd at...

    Trading one mess for another

    Copa, I have checked into the container cruises. I was told they don't have the same strong stabilizers like regular passenger ships and I do get sea sick sometimes. Also crossing the oceans for days with rough seas would be hard to take. I took a passenger ship from South Hampton England to NYC...
