[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 673658, member: 19522"] Hi Carolita, it is a challenge with two d c's, one with three children. It is tough. We are all going through rough times, aren't we? We were able to have a nice dinner despite everything. It is always nice to be with my children who are doing well. They are really good people who love their family. Yes, it was hard to let her go, especially the shape she is in. If she is not ready to get help, then it would be the same thing all over again. I don't even know what to think anymore. Yup, it is management alright. It takes work to overcome this thing. But, we are worth it Carolita. I love that, yes dancing in a mine field. I think what happens is we can get knocked off of our feet with it from time to time. It is ok to go through the feelings, then regroup and get back on track with our lives. Count our blessings. My moms favorite saying, is "There by the grace of God, go I." So, I have three healthy children who are doing really well. I have my wits about me, for now at least, heh, heh. So, I need to do the best I can do to live. This does take a toll on our bodies, that is for sure. I had to deal with the flu, too. Yuck. The eviction, does it affect you legally? That is rough Carolita. Yes, stay strong for when the time comes. My clay class is coming to an end, but will start up again in January. I am busy glazing my pieces I made for gifts, so that is a good distraction and is fulfilling. I have a bunch of blank canvasses waiting, I haven't painted in a long time. I am looking forward to getting back to it. This is so true. I think that my focus was so keenly on trying to help my two out, especially my grands, it really has been a whirlpool of turmoil and disruption. I get sad/mad when I think of my grands, they did not ask for this. We tried to step in for them. My daughter ended up using them as a sort of weapon. It is sad. I am grateful to be here as well. What a ragtag group we are. You know Carolita, it is a blessing to have folks to communicate with who are in the trenches. No one, [I]no one[/I] can understand this, except those who have walked in our shoes. I used to talk with my older sis, she pretty much told me recently she doesn't want to hear about it anymore. Her son is doing fine, and she doesn't understand the road we were on, struggling to help. It is okay, that is her feeling. I can see how it would get to folks after a while, especially if they are removed from it, haven't experienced the whirlwind of it. I need to get back on track and focus on the healing. Focus on living, really living. Even if I am in the "eye" at least I am aware that the storm will come at me, and I can prepare myself for it. Got to keep that toolbox handy! Thank you Carolita, for being here and sharing, and caring. The rain has stopped and a cool breeze blows. Breath in, breath out. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
