I like that word too!
We were so very fortunate that our son didn't like life on the streets and really does want us in his life. Desperately. Those two factors, I think, are key to him turning this around. I give ALL of the credit to divine intervention. I prayed so hard for so long and really questioned my faith at times. I could not believe that God could let this go on and let us all suffer so badly. I did not have a very good childhood and lost my parents young. My first husband abandoned me with a ten month old. I felt I had paid my dues so why again - why this and why now?
I am just thankful that my prayers were finally answered and my son has been sober long enough to let his brain heal. He needed time off the sauce so to speak. But how on earth do you get them to wherever that is to make that happen? It has given me a chance to heal to. To stand back and really see that this IS A DISEASE.
There is a new movie coming out - Beautiful Boy. It is based on a true story. I have read the book. The trailer is on FaceBook today and I could barely watch it. It hit home big time. I will need a roll of paper towels when I go see it. I will be a mess.
