[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 726798, member: 19522"] Guilty?????No, no no, not you.....him. He wants to live as he does. He won’t follow your rules. Geez, the neighbor across the road smokes medical marijuana and it [I][B]reeks[/B][/I]. I confess, I smoked in the 70’s and never smelled stuff like this smells. LBL, the stress is over the top when my two are around[I]. I don’t trust them. The first thought on my mind besides being happy they are alive is “Did I lock my purse in the truck?”[/I] Things go missing and I think[I] I am misplacing stuff and losing my mind. [/I] It’s our history with them. Waiting for the other shoe to drop because you know [I]something[/I] will happen. My two would do stuff to ramp up the angst in our home so they could [I]defiantly[/I] storm out and disappear for days. It was like bait and switch. They were using drugs, lying, stealing and [I]we were the weird straight people[/I]. We would all be sitting around stunned. Like “What just happened?” The air would be so thick with the stress factor you could cut it with a knife. They served it up after awhile on a regular basis just to keep us on our toes. “Here guys try a slice of this.” Guilty? Nooooooooo. Who can live like that? Sigh of relief when they went, then a quick check to make sure nothing was missing. Then, mad, sad, worried because they would leave for days, sometimes [I]weeks[/I] with no word. Up, down all around, welcome to the swirly whirly. I stand my ground to say that all of this craziness is meant to condition us into a quivering pile of goober brained zombies unable to eat, sleep or find any source of comfort, peace or joy. Then the next disaster comes along. Who do they call? The very ones they tread upon. Us. :warriorsmiley: Off we go to the rescue again. They play the Mom and Dad card so [I]easily[/I]. It’s unacceptable . Sorry I am ranting. After spending the morning yesterday, thinking we may get nuked because of the civil defense alert, I am in life examining mode. You know when everyone’s phones around you go off simultaneously with a loud blaring noise and text appears in all caps that a ballistic missile is headed for you and THIS IS NOT A DRILL! .........life kinds of flashes through your head and the old tapes reel. Then I was so relieved that it was an error and all sorts of stuff flooded in. The good, bad and ugly memories. Glad to be alive and want to live to the fullest. LBL, you are going through the toughest thing on earth. You have been dealing with your son going off the rails, stealing and lying. You are trying everything under the sun to get him to see the light and focus on his future. Stay strong and stick to your rules. Don’t let him get the best of you. One day at a time sister. You matter. Your health matters. Your peace, your joy matters. (((Hugs))) Leafy Sorry I am feeling dramatic today. :backingout: [/QUOTE]
