[QUOTE="JMom, post: 760144, member: 19892"] In my book, I wrote about a man known to us as "Irish". In short, he offered my son a tent when he was homeless. Recently, Irish lost his battle with addiction. J took it pretty hard. Also, an officer was shot recently, in our little hometown by a man on meth. The man also shot and carjacked a woman shortly thereafter and fled to another state. The event started at 4 am and ended with his capture at 2 p.m. The officer lived and walked out of the hospital on his own, thank goodness. I tell you this, not to depress you, but to tell you that my son has learned from these two, unrelated events. When Irish passed, they had not been in contact in quite some time, but the details as to his passing were hard to hear about. He overdosed on Meth and Fentanyl. when J saw the mugshot of the suspect from the officer-involved shooting, he called to ask if I had seen it. J said the man looked like he was on meth. I told J that I was so relieved that he walked away from that life. I still believe all of our difficult (and addicted) children have hope. They are slow learners, but that is ok. J's journey started at 14, he is now 26. I realized that I have been posting here for 10 years. My boy doesn't have it all figured out, but man has he come a long way. I have come a long way. You have all come a long way and we have all the time in the world to heal. A friend gave me the book "The Secret" recently, as a promotion gift, I made Sergeant!!! (humble brag, sorry, sorry). Have you all read it? There's a video version on Netflix called The Secret. There is also a movie made based on the book called the Secret: Dare to Dream" on Amazon Prime". I highly recommend it. It has given me so much healing and happiness. I love you all and am forever grateful for this lifeline you throw me, year after year. Hugs, Jmom [/QUOTE]
