Cat, I woke this morning thinking of Ken and his family and the pain they are going through!! It is unimaginable!!! I have dealt with both of my Daughter’s addictions for years and it is hell!! I used to cry all the time. People didn’t want to be around me because their addictions consumed me. In fact, it affected my health and mental state. My Husband was the only person who could calm me. If finally told me that if I didn’t get help (counseling) he thought that I would die of a heart attack. I started talking to someone about it and I started getting to where I could handle it. I had to put all those fears and thoughts away and lock them up and move on so I could function. I only bring them out once in awhile and I can deal a lot better with it now. I hope that makes sense!!! It doesn’t mean that I don’t care but they are the ones who have control of what they want to do, example rehab. I can’t do that for them. My Grandson’s last game is tonight for the championship. It is finally raining here. Much needed!!! Just sitting on the computer with the front door opened listening to the rain. Very calming.
