Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Joanne, Thanks for the response and for sharing. I suppose I should be grateful that she doesn't have a child although I'm sure you love your grandaughter very much. I know therre are others of us out there who are suffering. I guess I just have felt a need to connect right now because of the recent episode. Reminding me about detaching is a good thing. I am staying in touch with her by phone to let her know I care and support her desire to reach sobriety again, but I am also trying to get on with my own life again. Thanks again for the response and for sharing. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Dear Trish, I have been pretty quiet but have been reading the posts for 3 groups, but by far LifeOnTheBorder is the most active. It has quite a few knowledgeable and caring members going through the same things as you. Most of their children are teenage girls... but going thru the same thing. I can guarantee a response very quickly. I have a 30yo married daughter with identical twin sons that will be 2 next month. They are now out of my life for a while because someone here stepped over that invisible line. She has moved about 12 hours away and we have no communication right now. This has happened before... but I will hear from her eventually. I miss the grandchildren and just pray things are going weel for her family. I wish I would have had groups like LOTB when my daughter was a teenager. Don't give up and if you haven't already, read " Stop Walking on Eggshells " . It is an excellent book. And, always remember to take care of yourself. Nana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 eileen, WOW! even though my marriage with my ex husband didn't work out (divorce was final thursday) we are still really good friends and he has always supported everything i did 100% and was my biggest ally in staying with whatever i was doing. i hope yours comes around!!!! i've been med free since Jan 8. Mostly symptom free since starting the intro diet. i added yogurt and farmer's cheese and one of them has been giving me some pain so i cut them both out and am going to try adding yogurt back in more slowly and if i'm ok with it, then add farmer's cheese to see which was the culprit. since they were both intro items, i thought it would be safe to tadd them at the same time. on the same note, i could have just been adding too much yogurt at one time. i only have moderate to severe crohn's leaning more toward moderate (i think anyway) so i think the diet just worked faster for me. though i know i'm not in remission yet. hope the rest of your weekend is great! misty kimble walker, la cd scd - jan 5 08blackguitarmaker wrote: misty I think we started the same week! and I was glad to read you haven't moved too far either - not for your sake LOL! but it gets frustrating and hubby thinking nothing is improving isn't helping!the most i get is a few better moments here/there and he's just like go get meds and get betterso need this support!!!thankseileen> hey all..> > back on intro after my mishap.. first with the homemade nut milk> incident (didn't dehydrate nuts after i soaked them over night and> just whizzed up in blender.. ohh boy.. after 2 batches of "ehh, this> really isn't agreeing with me all to well, but it is awfully yummy am> i sure this is the culprit" to reading a post here about soaking nuts> and elaine being against it if not dehydrated properly due to molds> and such created in the almost sprouting process.> > after the nut milk incident and that took 10 days to totally snap> outta it.. just days later i became a little sugar crazy over doing> the honey (2 tablespoons is way too much for me) again causing the> whole yeast thing to scream so i tried oil of oregano and that put me> out of commission and was just bad.> > so now back on intro.. 2 days couldn't eat. and the last 2 days just> eating burger patties and homemade apple sauce and i am feeling so so> much better it's a miracle.> > my brother in law is here from out of town and we were outside having> fun, shopping, walking all day long.. i had no pain whatsoever!! no> bathroom breaks no vomiting!! i had so much energy and just totally> enjoyed myself. i am going to stay on the intro a few more days since> it is wonderful feeling this good again.> > thank you all on the list for reading my rants and making me feel so> supported through all my ridiculous newbie mistakes, giving me> pointers, teaching me things and just pushing me in the right> direction! it means so much to me.> > thank you all!> > jodi> > > > > > > ---------------------------------> Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 there are so many people that would rather just take a pill that gets rid of the symptoms than changing anything in their lives. they use the pill as a bandaid that only covers the symptoms and don't care about finding a "cure". no one i know would EVER do this. they are all pill people. everyone knows someone like that... a diabetic, a person with high cholesterol or heart problems. when all they need to do is change their diet and they could eventually get off the meds. it aggravates me so much....!!!!! honestly, i applaud everyone that takes control of their health and stops relying 100% on the medical community that only tries to find ways to cover up your symptoms instead of finding a cure (when the cure is most often a diet change). though i understand when medicine is the difference between life/death, living in constant pain, or something other medically NECESSARY reason. </end rant LOL> you'll get there. you have 2 things against you and i'm sure that makes it so much harder. wish you and your family the best. even though my ex husband was/is supportive, he'd have never helped me unless i asked. oh, and i WASN'T asking!!
