[QUOTE="healinginside, post: 764882, member: 29962"] Wow - I cannot believe the outpouring of support from you ladies. You are saving me today. Sometimes you just need someone to give you a reality check and you all have done that. I read your messages and spent some time outside in the sun, getting the yard ready for spring. I felt oddly energized knowing that my son was at least in a secure place and has to face sobriety. I felt like I was handing it over to God I even felt relief that he was going to face the consequences of his actions. But then the roller coaster comes down off the high point and I feel that pull of helplessness in my gut. But you all said it BEST - we have all done what we can do and more than we can do. We are guilty of loving too much, which is why we are all here. If we didn't care, we wouldn't be here. When I face that pit, I have to let go and let God. I'm hearing from you all - he is in jail, he is safe, you are safe, enjoy this moment instead of fretting. It is out of my control. My senior in hs and I spent some time together. I was lamenting that I wanted to go in and save the day for my son and she said, "mom, if there is anyone that needs to face consequences for their actions, it's HIM. No one would go save him right now bc he needs to LEARN." Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being my compass. [/QUOTE]
