Don't leave us ~~~~You were one of the first to welcome me when I joined

back in Dec. and I thank you for that~~~it made me feel like I found a home

where everyone understood. Maybe go on mail digest for awhile, but don't leave.

I have read so many of your posts and your encouraging words~~~ but I don't post

much myself. I would miss those words if they no longer were there.Will your

daughter be moving with you? Please keep in touch with all of us, we're here for

you ,Bless you, Judy / WIjohnhoneycutt1963

death of a drug overdose Jan. 1,1994. Yes I am moving very soon but not sure

just yet, most likely localy. This Spring I'm springing out on my own and the

Control Unit(mom) is taking it personal. I have to much on my mind to be reading

and replying to post as every mental effort put forth is going into preperation

for my move. I'm getting a Federal Grant that enables the disABLED to who are

considered homeless to get thier own place to dwell. I have been paying 300$$$ a

month to sleep in a camper w/no water or sewer while my older bro. SLEEPS all

day evryday w/out working or paying rent and I'm sick and tired of being treated

like SH*T in many regards! I'm BURNED out on many things to say the least. Maybe

I shouldn't unsubcribe just go AWOL! Last Spring will NOT repeat itself where I

stopped taking antidepressants and shot @ my brother for reasons listed above.

Hi ,

I'm glad to hear from you. I'vebeen in a very bad place so it made me concerned

about you. I know that you,ve been working very hard on getting your life back

together. I'm glad you wee not writing for a good reason.

I think you mother is having some difficulties with change. You getting to being

a strong productive man again may be threatening her materal instincts. It is

like the empty nest syndrom. Mothers often don't do well with their little birds

leaving the nest. Wasn't it last year your father died?(Can't remamber sorry)

She may be afraid what will happen to you if she isn't there to control your

every movement.Personally, I can't wait until my last baby bird moves out. I

have been a care taker all my life and don't do well taking care of me. I have

had to make a lot of hard desissions for my family that I wish I did not have to

make but so be it. It made the children stronger in the end. I can say since my

children are all adults I get along with them well, I have beautitful

grandchildren which are my reward for have to deal with the heart ache my

children have brought me at times. Remind you mom that you daughter still needs

her and it is about time you grew up and became the man you always wanted to be.

Reasure her that you will still need her as an adult for support and wisdom but

at some point everyone needs to grow up.

I hope I'm not being preachy but sometimes we need to step in the others shoes.
