Please pray for my Young GFG...

I didn't realize that GFG got to make the choice. That's so much better than the Prosecutor deciding his fate...way better. Fingers crossed that GFG recognizes the difference between his choice and opts for the treatment option. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. DDD

LMS, first of all, big hugs. I know how this has to be tearing you apart inside. Please know that I'm sending good thoughts and prayers that your son will be eligible for treatment, and will be acceptable of the treatment. Our kids wiring be different is difficult on them, and when they try to self-medicate with drugs and/or alcohol, it truly does spin them out of control. Here's hoping that things work out as best they can.

Meanwhile, please take care of yourself. You are not in any way responsible for any of this and cannot feel at fault. Please keep yourself in a good place.

Hugs,
Deb

No problems with not responding, LMS. You have a lot on your plate and responding to me is the least of it, or should be! I am glad dh is going with you. IMO it will be good for him as much as youngest. They truly are totally different people but not opposites. I find it fascinating that they can be so very different and also very much NOT polar opposites. I think your youngest IS a leader but hasn't found his flock yet. I see a LOT of leadership qualities in him. he is driven to find the path less travelled, not b/c it is less traveled but b/c it is the one that interests him. He is very much not easily led, and he never fails to find some interesting/unusual twist in a situation. When he finally embraces recovery he will do it the way my gfgbro did - 1000% percent. I phrased it a LOT less elegantly with gfgbro, but he did it the first time through b/c he put his mind to it. When your youngest is ready, nothing will stop him just the way NOTHING stopped him when he took this road. Just the way NOTHING diverted his interest in weather. I can completely see him as a storm chaser, can't you? IMO it would give him the adrenaline he seems to need and fit his interests. I don't know if I see a college degree or not in his future, but I am sure he has a great future. He just has to get out of his own way, kwm?

You have my best wishes and prayers. I hope he makes a good choice, whatever is right for him. I hope for rehab b/c I think it would be best, but whatever he chooses, htere is a plan.

Love you a lot, and will be there with you in spirit.

I just saw this post. I am praying for your GFG and for you and all your family, Tammy. And waiting to read what was the outcome in court.

Sending you hugs,

Love, Esther

I am praying that tough as this is for your gfg, that he says opportunity knocking to improve not only his legal situation but also his future. For his sake and for his family. As always keeping the whole bunch of you in my thoughts as well.
