[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 734588, member: 19522"] Hi Feeling, I am so sorry you have had such a difficult year, all of this stuff just piling up. I am glad the school year is coming to a close and you will be traveling. Good for you. I agree with Copa that your middle son is torturing you, dragging you into his despair. It is similar to my drug addicted two. They tried every which way to entangle me. Mental illness is not a choice. But neither is any illness or addiction. People do find ways to seek help, to try to get well. In that way there is a choice, I believe. There was a program here about doctors giving mentally ill homeless folks some kind of shot that helped them. The difference was remarkable. But of course, they had to be willing to accept the treatment. I am sorry your middle son is not willing to get help. Yet. I am glad you posted, I have missed you. My two are still out there. I have seen Rain here and there, but not Tornado. She left my grands and has not been around since last summer. Rain is distant and does not speak much at all to me. I pray for my two and my grands. It helps me to calm my fears and sadness. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life waiting for them to come to their senses, to find themselves. I do have a mission to find me. I am tired too, Feeling, and not getting any younger. I had a really bad virus a few weeks ago that made me feel absolutely terrible. It put things in perspective, body aches and no energy, couldn’t even lift my aching head up. That scared me. When I finally started to feel a bit better, I felt like it was a second chance, to grab my life back. That’s my goal. I can’t change anything for my two. I have let go of that notion. Summer is here for us, last day of school was 5/31. Yay! I will stay home and paddle, garden and sort through stuff. I am still trying to get organized :confused:. Planning a short trip back east in the fall. Feeling, let us know how you are doing, how your trip goes. I hope you are able to take your mind off of the heavy stuff. Do something nice for you. There’s some awesome antique shops back east. I bought some little paintings online, to try to inspire my inner artist. Bright colorful flowers, textured with a palette knife, very simple, yet elegant. I redid a bathroom in beach tones, seagreen and white. A friend gave me a bunch of mosaic tiles, so I am going to create a seascape backsplash. (I hope). I even splurged on an octopus toilet paper holder, and sea glass switch plate covers. Have I gone overboard? Maybe. But I like it. I am trying to do little things to help those good sighs come to the surface. I hope you can do the same Feeling. You matter. The rest of your life matters. Aloha dear sister. I hope you check in again soon. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
