[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 766133, member: 19522"] Aloha nui Kalahou, How wonderful to “see” you and know that you have been given some respite from the “rinse, repeat cycle.” It is very much so “rinse/repeat” and while it is wearing, I have to find ways to keep both feet on the ground. Thank you for your prayers. It is what I have to lean back on to keep steady, as well as the support I have here and from family who know the challenges I face finding balance. How strange it is to feel relief that our adult children are incarcerated, how I well know that feeling. Each time Tornado has been picked up I let out a sigh, because I know she will again have the chance to be sober and get off the streets. Admittedly, it is also a chance for me to breathe because I know she won’t be randomly showing up at my house, either breaking in while I’m not home, or bringing street “friends” along with her. I am 65, and truly understand and feel the effects of this journey. I hope for my wayward daughters and your son, that they will find their true light and escape the talons of meth. I am also long past expectations, but give my two to Akua in hopes that He will watch over them. They have had many opportunities to pivot, hopefully one day they will steer a different course. We are going to be alright, because we have to. We are the lighthouses upon the jagged cliffs. All my aloha to you Kalahou. Leaf [/QUOTE]
