[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 626754, member: 17542"] Thanks friends. Oh yes, I know my son has a good heart, and that has not changed. Who knows what he would do in the same situation as Wells. I think he would try hard to do the right thing and something good. Drug addiction doesn't mean he is a bad person. I used to think that (I'm good, he's bad) with my ex-husband in dealing with his alcoholism. That was so wrong. I know better now. My harshness was just my anger at his behavior. And then my sadness was just my despair at his behavior. I am still very glad I was warm yesterday. I think about Wells, the young man in the South Tower, and the young man who died in a halfway house a few weeks ago here, and the homeless man found dead in an abandoned house this week here, and I want to remember that I can't know how long I will have my son (or anybody else) in this world. I want to be gentle, and kind and compassionate, and warm. I am just glad I was warm in our conversation yesterday and that it was natural. I believe my warmth is possible because I have had the distance I need. I would like to go and see my son in jail but I just can't decide if that is a good idea for me or not. I don't want to disrupt my peace right now. And he is likely to be still actively navigating his situation, mentally. Listening to all of that is hard for me. I don't have to decide today, said Scarlett O'Hara. I'll just wait until another day to decide. I am going to for a girls' weekend to meet my mother, sister and niece. Back Sunday. Hugs and love and blessings to you great people on this site. [/QUOTE]
