Always hold onto hope but let them sink or swim on their own. Hope things are well.

She helped me quite a bit get to the space I am today and that is loving my son for who he is without enabling him.

I literally said AMEN! several times before I got to the end. I will post about this later, right now I want to print this for my DH to read. We are in the midst of making huge, potentially life-changing decisions about our role in our daughter's life and this is unbelievably helpful. I so agree with every word!

And I am wit...I love it...I have tears in my eyes. And I am with her when she says, "Don't let anyone tell you no one beats heroin..." Because they do. I have, and many others like me have. I am glad you read and commented on my post yesterday...I actually was thinking about your son some when I wrote it. He may like to read it. I sensed from his recent post that he was frustrated that it can be a long road, and I would like him to know that it is a long road for us all...he is not alone in that. There is no quick fix, and there is no instant cure all...but it sure is worth it when things finally start working out. I never dreamed I could be so happy. And I KNOW it is here to stay. And I am, and will be here for good. You two are wonderful parents. I am blessed with wonderful parents, too. I cannot imagine my life without them.BMelonsLemonadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746882165582323180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644974106128239775.post-45501536550943081382010-09-25T17:44:35.131-07:002010-09-25T17:44:35.131-07:00If this is the Lou that I know from blogging, she ...If this is the Lou that I know from blogging, she has great compassion but also understands that enabling does not work.
