[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 655548, member: 18284"] SOT (aka "SomewhereOutThere".....just shorter!) --- Thanks for your kind words. Some days I can roll with it, some days not. But I am thriving on accepting the "oscillating line of life" and the simple act of accepting that helps me roll with it better. Oh, yes, I registered that he's upped his heroin ante. But, after having tried EVERYTHING (and I do mean EVERYTHING) I could think of, I know that what I do doesn't change HIM. Only HE can change HIM. Only I can change ME. It's a risky thing to let go of the mistaken notion that we have control over them (at least for me it feels risky often). But, hey, it's the fact. Also, I think it helped me a lot to know that he has many legal eyes on him right now. His court will happen very soon. I just need to let life unfold for him. Keeping him always in my prayers, always in my heart, and always letting him know that. Inadaze -- Thank you, also, for your kind words. I appreciate the support greatly. There are a great many things I don't know. But, see, I learn much from many of you all, too! :) [/QUOTE]
