[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 723849, member: 19290"] Fuel for your soul. My son has been working a little for a friend’s parents — who have a dog walking business. The mom sent me a picture today of him, surrounded by dogs, looking happy playing with them. She is a minor angel. When he showed up at “work” without sleep, still twisted on Xanax and with a bleeding lip from the night of horror, she made him eat, shower and let him sleep all day. She called me to ask what I thought would be best for him next. She sympthized and said I was doing a good job making all these hard decisions to get him better. She said how hard this must be for us. She says she hopes my son will overcome this. I thanked her for her kindness to my son I didn’t say this but I know she could have fired him on the spot. And maybe that would be another thing that helped him to bottom out. But This job is his first. He’s finally getting to feel what it means to have someone rely on you. He’s having the unconditional love of dogs. His boss is wise to his issues and wants him to succeed. So far, it has been abling, not enabling, support. And for that I am grateful. [/QUOTE]
