Dear Nomad, it is heart wrenching the issues we face with our children and they have NO appreciation for the things we allow ourselves to do for them such as paying her cell and medical bills, am sorry you are going through this. 🤗 2 and a half years, such a long time of not seeing her...

As you are mine MommaTried24. ❤️ This board and finding each other has been a God send, we will get through this together. :hugs:

I usually take Sundays off to rest and repair my muscles but this weekend took both days. Just in that short span of time I lost my motivation even after 4 months continuous exercise. Depression had reared its ugly head today and I almost gave in and did not exercise. I said nope, made myself a...

NewLeaf, you have such a wonderful way of putting your feelings into words oh how I felt what you were saying! 🤗 Self preservation mode, we know how our children are affecting us trying to make them see the sense of it all but, nothing we try ever works for them. “Her past is water under the...

I am so sorry NewLeaf that this cycle has begun for you yet again. Sending you love and a big hug! 🤗 So familiar is this with my own daughter, the multitude of promises made while in jail, they want to change and are a different person until they get out. I commend you for not taking her money...

I had a small break down during my exercise, it’s because of that used to be her bedroom. But…put a timer on it, 20 minutes is all she gets. Even though we want to be strong there still is much sadness…sadness of what could have been. We are learning though aren’t we my friend that we both...

Wow! Welcome jodibell, your stepbrother sounds exactly like my daughter she has mental issues such as schizophrenia. We are in the process of detaching and not enabling her as she refuses to help herself. Your situation sounds as if you may need to try and detach from him as he is definitely...

I understand your unblocking his phone number as I have done this with both of my children. In doing so there is that moment of hope that they have changed but the truth is always the opposite and very same. It is sad as you said that we have to hide in our own homes if they should come around...

Never say never MammaTried24! You have the want that’s the first step. 🤗

Thank YOU for being here and continuing to share, even if it’s painful. I hate that what we share is such a horrible thing though. 🤗 Also thank you so much about Gizmo, she was an amazing girl and is definitely missed. ❤️🌈 I grew up in a home affected by alcohol, my Dad. When he was not home...

Absolutely! I workout on my Gazelle glider everyday for 20 minutes, started at 5 minutes. 😁 Some days I have to force myself but really do enjoy and feel accomplished when I did so. 😊

Thank you my friend! I do believe we would get along so well as we share a lot in common. 🤗 I am screaming here though at the idea of putting up a house for him on your property, I almost did it too. Since he does receive money from SS at least he has that for a start. But to give our children...

I think that you should be proud of yourself and how you’re handling this. 🤗 That text was a test from him to you seeking a response. If he had gotten one he knew you were hooked and he could attempt further texts asking for money or a place to stay at your home. As you said you have told him...

I pray for you Nomad that an in person meeting will find some peace for you, I know for my son he will never even speak to her again. My daughter has taken such advantage of us that when out of jail, I just cannot do it at this time and have to seperate for awhile, hopefully she will finally see...

I have not seen my daughter for a year and a half now. At first when she just up and left us one night was in a deep depression and cried non stop all day, my every waking thought was of her. She is in jail at the moment and during this time I have been reading on this board and books...

First off I wanted to tell you how very proud I am of you! 🤗 Like you I also see right through this as even more ways to manipulate you with hurtful words and now your sister. She is using her unborn child as a pawn in this game and it’s so unfair to her child! Your sister may think you are the...

Thank you Blighty! 🤗 I had a hard time with focusing my attention on just him. My daughter always claimed favorites and that we loved him more than her. Have always been hyper focused on giving both children the same love and attention as I hated very much favorites of any kind as I was...

Good morning MommaTried24! I hope and pray yours is an amazing day! Really understand what your saying as things my mother said/did I have all the understanding in the world now of the why’s. We as their Moms think the responsibility rests on our shoulders as the world has conditioned us with...

Yesterday my son and his wife came over to our house for an early birthday celebration. 🥳 We had a BBQ with an ice cream cake for him that he requested. What was different in the times that we have gotten together is I realize now that by putting all my effort into one child left no room for the...

How are you doing healinginside? I pray that you are well, post when you can. 🤗❤️
