[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 755771, member: 15032"] Last night at my women's group I really got emotional. We break into small groups and pray for each other. Naturally I always pray for our son. I have been saying the same prayers for many years and it gets exhausting. I have seen a lot of my prayers answered for him though so I keep praying. When my friend was saying the prayers for all of us and him I just had tears streaming down my face. I normally hold it together pretty well. I swear every week at least one woman cries about something. It is such a feeling of peace to be able to let it all out and not be judged - at all. A women I had met there recently came up to me after our meeting and asked if I was okay, she had seen that I had gotten very emotional. I told her about our son and how although things were way better, I was still very afraid for his future and felt anxious. I feel that he is very lonely. She then told me about her 39 year old daughter. She has not seen or heard from her since September. Her daughter has been using prescription pain pills since age 17 and was arrested with pills and meth. She feels her daughter will commit suicide rather than going to jail. However she is at a place of peace. She said she does not want her daughter in her life if she is sick. She feels that SHE is an enabler and can't say no so it's best she doesn't hear from her. She said that all she can do is pray for her. She said no matter what happens. She showed me her strength and faith last night and I think that is what I needed. Maybe by sharing this story it can help one of us here. [/QUOTE]
