[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 721181, member: 19887"] The reason I come here is for the unconditional support we can only get from others who understand our incredible pain and feelings of grief and shame. My friends who have kids doing well may try but they can't really understand.... The overwhealming grief is the hardest part for me.... those times I have felt so sad and defeated and wished I had never had children. It wasn't until the drugs I have ever felt this. I don't even think those whose children get sick or hurt badly would have feelings of regret in having kids.... that may be reserved for us special moms of addicts. I think it is the shame speaking when I feel that way.... We are currently dealing with my father in laws death and I am so thankful he is holding it together at this moment but it just makes me think he will crash later. Why do I assume he can't stay sober? I guess because he never has. I feel I may have lost my hope for his future. I am simply waiting for the next binge. Thinking of you all, LBL, Copa, Billie, and all those who rally around when one of us is hurting....and on this Canadian thanksgiving weekend.... I am thankful for all of you and your unwavering support. [/QUOTE]
