Dear Thisismylife?, I'm so sorry for what your going through with your son. We have an adopted, 33yo biracial son who is living in Phoenix (we live in the southeast). We haven't heard from him in weeks. As you are, I'm trying to detach and not allow him to destroy my life, peace, and joy, but it is so hard. When you said you're needing strength to keep your sanity and enjoy your many blessings instead of living with a black cloud over your head--that could have been written by me. Please know I understand, as do everyone else here, how incredibly hard these circumstances are. Who thought that any of us would ever be experiencing these things?
