[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 679043, member: 19522"] Hi Colleen, I am glad you checked in. So sorry for your aching heart and worries. We have all been down this road, struggling to keep our heads above water and hoping for change with our d cs. That sick feeling in the gut. It is not healthy for us. You will be okay, Colleen. Take it one day, one step at a time. It is good he is in school. I hope he makes progress and sees a better way. It is up to him to make the choice. In the meantime, continue to work on yourself, strengthen yourself. Our focus as moms is always on our kids. We want the best for them. We neglect ourselves. I think the best thing we can do for these kids is to switch our focus and work hard at building ourselves up. Actions speak louder than words. By your working on yourself and living well in the face of this, you are [I]showing[/I] your son the importance of living well. We have parented them and taught them the best we can. They know right from wrong. I hope you are able to do something for YOU, Colleen. You have value and you matter. Be very kind to yourself and take some time to do things that uplift you and give you joy. I wish you peace, dear. You are not alone. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
