[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 644811, member: 15801"] Oh Comatheart, I so feel for you right now. I have had those periods of despair where I had no hope or only a small shred of hope because I didnt want to give up.... but at those times I would imagine my sons funeral and those thoughts at times were almost unbearable. And yet at least for me I think it was easier to try and face reality and as a way to prepare myself for that thing which I could not imagine how I would get through. I think people who have not had to face the realities we face as parents of addicts dont understand the utter hopelessness we can feel at times. And other people dont want to have to face the reality we face. And yet for me when people would tell me I had to have hope, it would kind of drive me nuts.... I felt like they didnt hear my pain, or didnt want to hear my pain... it made me feel unheard. So I say all this to say I hear you, I hear your pain and your fear and the agony you are feeling right now.... and it makes me want to cry with you. I feel hope when my son is taking positive steps.....but when he is not it is hard to be hopeful. At those times I just try to keep on going, keep on living, and find things in my life I can enjoy at least a little bit. Keep sharing your pain here.... because this is a place you will find understanding and be heard. TL [/QUOTE]
