    back after a few years

    Wow, I am shocked he could bail himself out and you see? This is proof that he will use you as his last resort. So proud of you that you were not the one to do this and for the future continue to keep the strength going and let him figure it out for himself. He has shown you he is capable of...

    18yo Son Update

    Hugs Lovemysons! ❤️ I have asked myself this very question, what if she were gone? Would I have guilt over what could have been? I can honestly say that while extremely sad, there is nothing else I could have done for my daughter. How I wish she would listen and I pray one day she will. 🙏 We...

    18yo Son Update

    His Dad should certainly understand addiction and possibly why he is putting so much pressure on you to be the stronger one, I don’t know? I agree with the therapist of the strong being the scapegoat, I really feel that myself. We have carried the world and everyone in it on our shoulders but...

    back after a few years

    This is exactly why I had to change my phone number once we made the decision to go no contact with my daughter, she gave my number out to every bail bondsman out there. I agree with your husband and daughter to not bail him out, not today - tomorrow - next week or month. This to me is the most...

    back after a few years

    Hello bluebell am new here, nice to meet you. Am so very sorry this has happened yet again but so thankful your husband did not attack back. We live in Florida, my daughter cannot bail herself out of jail. We have to go to a bail bondsman who usually is in a different location than the jail...

    18yo Son Update

    Wow! This is so expected the child going to the parent who gives in to them and their choices and making the other parent who is trying to steer them in the right direction problems. He is using you both as a pawn in his game, I say this as it’s the very same thing my daughter did to us. I am...

    How do you cope?

    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...

    How do you cope?

    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...

    Spinning Wheels

    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...

    Text message ignored this morning......

    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...

    Text message ignored this morning......

    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...

    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. 😊

    Text message ignored this morning......

    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...
