There is no right way,
There is no wrong way.
No parent loves their children more, or less than another.
Each family has different values, resources, priorities, sizes of family, etc.
What works for you, works for you. What works for someone else, works for them.
When you get up in the morning, as long as you can look yourself in the face in the mirror, and not turn your head away in shame, then you are okay.
Amen to that! What a concise and great summary of our recent discussions across several blogs. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI second that Amen! :)
ReplyDeleteGood Summary.
ReplyDeleteI write in this bloggin community about my experiences and opinions in dealing with my life. I'm not trying to be a counselor or an expert. I for sure know I have not cornered the market in "truth".
Your last sentence is probably one of the most helpful things to to remember for anyone going through all of this.
I won't be posting here again as I have too many who "despise" me (who can blame them!) I don't want to detract from the good work Fractalmom is doing.
ReplyDeleteI did put a disclaimer on each post and a more detailed one that I will ask all to read before continuing on my blog.
Due to your comments and suggestions from professionals I will make some adjustments to my blog but I doubt they will be enough to win the "Blog of the Year" contest.
By the way, I agree with just about every comment made about me.
I love this post, it truly does sum up the journey that parents of addicts live. Thanks Dawn for all you wisdom and frank comments/posts.
ReplyDeleteDawn, Amen & Thank you! With love, HM
ReplyDeleteThanks for being you and sharing in your wisdom, your journey and your truth.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless
