Hi Everyone,
Well I am worried about my son. He called the other night which is good but he is struggling. His girlfriend is moving back and that is really hard for him, and now they are changing his shift and location at work which is really tough because he doesnt have transportation. So we had a good talk and he seemed ok. Then I got an email from his girlfriend... she forwarded an email he had sent to her... and he is sounding suicidal and hopefully that is mostly talk but is very worrisome....and in that he mentioned how much he is drinking which is a lot.
So at alanon last night we talked about worry and how useless it is to live in the future and the best thing to do is to try and live in the moment..... and then of course there is the serenity prayer. So I am trying to live in the moment and remind myself I need to accept what I cannot change.
I did text him today that I would come visit if he wanted me too... and he hasnt responded.
Its hard not to go back in time in my head and wonder if we could have somehow done things differently.... because in the letter he talks about how he hasnt had a home since he was 16.....and yet truly he was on such a dangerous path when we sent him to a therapeutic boarding school that I am not sure he would be alive right now if we hadnt taken action.
So I am just hoping he will be ok.
