[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 743358, member: 18958"] Dear TL I feel for you, your worrying about your son. I appreciate your modeling for me, the choice to focus upon thanks, despite worries and sadness. I am thankful that my son seems to be choosing to help himself in the way that he can right now. I know that he is working at least a little bit. I am thankful that my son has a good friend that never turns away from him. I am thankful that many of the people that my son touches care about him and do not turn away. I am sad I am not with my son today, but I am thankful that I was able to set a boundary that I did not want him to come home. I wanted to meet him where he is to go out to eat, but he spurned this invitation and has not responded to several texts. I am thankful that I am able to stay strong, and to focus on my love for him. I am thankful that I can see this as self-definition on his part, and a healthy thing. I am able to feel as positive his setting a boundary. And for that I give thanks. I am thankful that I keep turning towards new interests that sustain me and reach to develop new strengths as I face painful and worrying new challenges. I am thankful that I seek support from people who can help me when I feel needy and overwhelmed and over my head. I am thankful that I am in conversation with my partner so that we can both become stronger and better people. I am thankful for my animals that are a constant solace and give my life meaning. I am thankful for my health. I am thankful for my mother and grandparents that are gone (and for my sister with whom I have no contact) and that I am able to feel their love for me and my love for them. I am thankful for my faith that sustains me and inspires me. I am thankful for a worldview that propels me to keep digging deeper to know myself and be better.
