How are things going for your family now that the holidays
are behind you? I hope there is reason to be hopeful.
The funny thing is how something totally unrelated to your
personal life can have an impact. Last night I was a bit tense waiting for my easy child/difficult child to call for a pick up. THEN on
the television I saw the news that two kidnapped teens had
been located alive. I'm not sure which story "grabbed me"
more. The older boy who after four plus years has likely been altered for life through no fault of his own...or the
younger boy who was a perfect easy child until he was abducted and
now??? Only God knows if these kids will be able to live a
normal life or not.
With all the pain and fear that each of us has experienced
with s.a. issues, we have to remember to be thankful that our kids are alive and have only been victimized by their
own choices. Their chances for recovery are proportionally
greater. They chose the road they are on. They can choose
a different road. Nobody has forced them into anything.
I pray for all our kids and hope yours is doing better. DDD
