My son made some terrible choices. He is looking at some serious time.
Most days I keep myself positive. I'm a tough cookie. Life will always have it's highs and lows but as the saying goes, my track record for making it through them so far is 100%. But there are the other days when the full weight of it settles on me heavy and I bow under the burden, shoulders hunched and head hung low. It was one of those days that I went searching and found this site and another called daily strength. It sucks that a community like this is needed but I appreciate that you are here and that you understand the struggle. I'm not a religious person. I don't pray for salvation or revelations or miracles. But I am a humanist. I believe we are all in this life together. Individuals, but connected through shared resources and experiences. And I also want to be here for you on the days when your head is hung low, when your shoulders are bowed and you've fallen to your knees with the weight of it all. Speak and I will listen. I will do my best to hold out a hand and help you stand. Together we can lift each other up.
Thank you for having me.
