[QUOTE="overcome mom, post: 754414, member: 23328"] beebz, boy can I relate. I am trying so hard to get into the spirit or at least get through this next week not totally depressed but it is not working. My son is in jail still and will be for who knows how long. I had some girl friends over last night to celebrate (we have exchanged small presents for years). I was hoping this would put be in a better mood as it is the only Christmas related celebration, I am going to have but it ended up not helping. This was partly because I had a discussion with my son about how much money he spends and how he never saves. This is a rather long story, but it made me realize that he has not changed, and it doesn't look like he may ever change which regards to his compulsion to spend immediately what he has with no regards for the future. To top off the night my husband came home drunk. I haven't talked about it here but my husband has an alcohol problem. I don't know why really as this is a place of anonymity, but it seems most people have a good relationship with their husband. We have been married 34 years and he has had a problem at least half of the time. It had gotten way worse lately. Beez, I am just trying to live in the moment, but right now I moment is not great. I am looking forward to it getting better. I know I am blessed in many ways but the most important things in my life, my husband and son are both in a bad place. [/QUOTE]
