Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
I know this can be a particularly difficult time of year for those of us who have loved ones with substance abuse issues. May this Christmas find each of our gfg's sober and drug free and on the road to recovery !
Hugs and good wishes to all.

DH & I have raised our 25 yr.old grandson. At 14 he turned to pot & booze to cope with problems. He's a GFG#1. In 2005 he fell off a balcony, had brain surgery and has TBI effects. His recovery is very stressful. Time will tell if he ends up GFG or PC. Our GFG#2 is 21 and now lives with his GFGmom. He's ADHD, AS, BP plus. DH and I have 6 children and 11 grands. Yikes!
Belated Merry Christmas to everyone. I am thinking of all of you who are doing your best to make everyone else around you happy during the holidays when it's all you can do to make it out of bed in the morning. I'm with ya!
