[QUOTE="SeaGenieTx, post: 671844, member: 18773"] Hi New Leaf! Oh my gosh thank you so much for thinking of me. This week was extremely tough on me. I've held tight to my goals (detaching, focusing on myself, etc.) but it's been so hard. I have done the church thing, even went to a singles meetup group (but lord, those people all seem so desperate and depressed) - not my cup of tea. My biggest problem is finding support. Since I have no family (my son is it) and I only have one good friend I can call on (others have too many issues of their own) - it's hard dealing with the overthinking and loneliness. I miss my son and worry, feel so betrayed by his hatefulness and drug use... it's overwhelming at times but somehow I'm trying like heck to stay strong. This week a bombshell happened at work. My boss's boss got fired suddenly for unethical behavior. She was this young know it all who was horrible to work for so we are happy. Problem is my direct boss was close friends with her and was hired because they were buddies. So now I'm dealing with a boss who lost her safety net and fears for her job (she is unethical too and we hope she is next). So changes at work are happening and I'm worrying about my son and trying to deal with that. But, I'm ok. Just have my moments. I have no place to go for Thanksgiving since I have no family. My son - I'm not even expecting to hear from him, he is either back with his girlfriend or with his group of druggie friends. Unless I contact him he won't make any effort to contact me and frankly, I'm just fed up with everyone. I'm tired of reaching out to other people and no one bothers to see how I'm doing. So right now, I'm trying to stay detached and NOT worry about my son. Practicing the saying "Let go and let God" and trying to keep myself busy reading books, watching movies, exercising, staying positive. How are you doing Leafy? ((((HUGS)))) to you my friend. So grateful and thankful for your kind words and caring. God bless you. How are things with you? Got big plans for Thanksgiving? [/QUOTE]
