On my way. by the way, I am not offended that you used my name and my cooking skills. Not at all... you are very high on my pedestal of parents who have done the best that they could. Your advice is so right on. xoxo
Couldn't believe it - my Dad called my cell phone when I was on my way home from an Al-Anon meeting tonight - and told me to go to abc.com to watch that exact segment. I ate dinner then promptly forgot to b/c I have so much catching up to do from everyone staying here for the NASCAR race (I don't know anything about NASCAR, but when we moved North, we moved 8 miles from the track.). Anyway... it was like my Dad had "Dad" remind me... lol... so I watched the video from tonight (and read the article that was posted, maybe from yesterday?). The one thing I found ODD (not sure what word to use here), but the sentence that Nic said to say is EXACTLY verbatim what we were told by our interventionist to say to Heather.
Also want to comment on your book chapters post - loved it - loved the guilty officer part and all the rest. Great reflection on "our" lives/situations.
oops - posted this comment on the wrong post - this comment is for your next post from today. BUT - on this one - thanks for keeping us informed so we can check out the other blogs and (hopefully) offer encouragement...
We want to welcome you to our blog. This blog is principally going to be about parenting a drug addict. However as parents of drug addicts know they take up about 85% of your time, worry and stress, but there are other good things going on too.
My wish and goal for this blog is that maybe we can help you or you can help us. Feel free to e-mail us if you wish to comment or want to chat personally. Please if you want to post comments (good, bad, or indifferent) they will be very much appreciated.
Dad and Mom are parents of 3 and grandparents of three. Our oldest is the manager of Pediatrics at one of the top medical centers in the nation, the middle daughter takes care of our granddaughter and a couple other precious children. Our youngest is troubled with an addiction to drugs but is currently over 2.5 years clear and sober working at a company principally involved in foam and foam fabrication. Our blog is about his addiction and parenting an addict.
Please if you want to stay in touch become a follower. We are adding posts and people are commenting. Feel free to forward this link to anyone you think may be interested or need someone to chat with about these issues. To those that are FOLLOWERS, Thank You
