[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 755600, member: 19522"] Thank you SS.I hope so, for all of us. But, there has to be a better tomorrow for us, regardless of what our waywards do. I tell my grands that. We have to work hard to overcome the sorrow and find our own meaning and potential. This is true, Copa, she has made her own choices. I suppose I lamented a bit that my stepping in was to support her sobriety, not an escape. But, again that was her choice. This is also true. Who knows if they start with good intentions, then temptation takes over. I don’t want to spend what’s left of my life lamenting the choices of my two, or feeling guilty over what [I]I do or don’t do.[/I] I am feeling the weight of having to measure that carefully with each challenge that arises. The cost to my grands has been heavy as they struggle to find their place. In this, I am doubly affected trying to deal with their angst and my own. I think predatory behavior describes Tornados actions perfectly. I can wrap my head around the whys of it, the addiction, but I would be lying if I write that my heart is not ever questioning. I believe I have made mistakes, who wouldn’t under the circumstances. There are volumes written, what to do, what not to do, but in the end all, these are our hearts, our beloveds. It is a lifetime overcoming the challenges of this. My two are literally becoming zombies, fiending for meth. Thank you JMom, I had so hoped. But, I also know that sobriety can take many attempts. Thank you JMom. Thank you all for your support. May we all find strength to carry on. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
