[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 673192, member: 19522"] Oh there you are Sea! Good to see you posting here. You have the spark Sea, we all do. I think the size of our spark is different, depending on our situation, and we need to nurture it. Whether or not we recognize it, and see it in others, is important. That is why I posted it here. So much misery and tears. I have been there, just awfullizing about my two, my three grands. Prayers help, but I love the idea that we can envision our Gifts from God (d cs) in a better light. See their potentiality, and speak of it to them. The talk of addiction, drugs, rehab, must just sound like the Charlie Brown teacher-"wah,wah,wah,wah,wah." What if we said positive things? Changed the channel so to speak, with them. "I love you so much, you have a bright future ahead of you, I believe you will find your purpose." I am glad to know you through CD, Sea. You are an amazing person, been through the blazing fire of life and come out strong and loving. I am sure, in spite of what your son has said, or is doing, that deep down inside, he knows this. Thank you for liking the post and sharing your story. I think we all have been through so much, it is good to think of different ways to deal with this challenge, ways to help us find our joy again, and to show our gifts from God (d cs), by our not only surviving, [I]but living to the fullest[/I], that they can, too. I saw a clip from Facebook, a Sped Teacher made a practice every day, before the day was done, he would sit at the front of the class and tell his students good, kind things about themselves. He said the transformation was amazing. This group of kids with a multitude of different challenges, stopped teasing one another, started saying the nicest things to each other. Positivity is affective. I am not talking about enabling and letting our adult kids come back to live with us. I am talking about changing the way we think about them, talk to them. I want to live to the fullest and breathe, really breathe. Frankls talk, gives me a tool to do that. Thank you Sea, thank you very much for checking in and sharing your remarkable resilience, and most of all, your incredible spark! (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
