Lou, Honey I am just so very sorry for all the trouble you are having right now. I know the scary feeling to have to use more 02. I am thankful I can get more...don't like it but thankful for it.As far as your son goes... He is a grown man and is making his own life choices. You can not do anything within yourself for him or to change him. You have to just love the little boy you gave birth to and know he is in God'shands. You do not need the stress and in my heart I know you know you can't change anything. Look to your faithin God to comfort you. Try to rest and be ready for your surgery Tues. We all love you and care for you..

ML...if I'm using O2 I have my mouth closed or I lose the O2...

ML, honey girl, ya just gotta quit blaming yourself for your son. I have a gay son too but I learned years ago, these are his choices.

What is keeping you from changing your attitude about your son? I hate to see you stuck in such emotional backlash. Even if you did do something, you still did the best you could then. I know your son knows you love him.

Good luck with your surgery!

Love ya

Hi..............................................

Hate to say it from the Persistent Fighter, but I have been feeling really rotten for 2 days, and I don't mean sickly. My stablization is going down, I have not been out of the house for almost 2 weeks, much harder to breathe, on 6 1/2 now and 7 when sitting and on 10 now when i get up. walk with my mouth open, so am I a candidate for a mask??????????????????????????????????????????????? Hubby says close your mouth when you breath. When people walk, do you always have your mouth closed???????????????????????????????????/The Home Medical Co. just called me and is going to order a mask for me to wear during the day with high flow continuous and to wear at night too. She is calling my pulmodude right now and is calling me back.I was going to go to the store this week but chickened out,. Afaid of catching something before surg. on Tues. , also very weak. Everything is going wrong here with my health the past few days. I will be on chat but prob won't say anything. My son ph sent me an address in Missoula as all my cards came back, they always do when he disappears like that. Bruce or any other male on here, I need help. His address is on a street in Missouli where the G/L live. Gay Lesbian organizations are. It's ok if he is, that is not the question, the question is how do I deal with this within my heart?.... I will not answer his email. i DON'T KNOW HOW. I am not depressed over it, but the organization is Catholic. Spirit Peace of Alternative Catholic Community, Missoula mt.It also says that the western part of Missoula is where all the G/L live and have a community of their own.I don't need this right now in my life. I have had terrible diahrrea and taking extra anxiety pills to cope. Whatever did I do???????? Good Grief. Lou

[Guest guest]

Lou,

I'm sorry that you are feeling so crappy. I know it's difficult for you to just sit and relax but I think at least until your surgery is over that's exactly what you should be doing.

When I am walking I have my mouth closed because I'm getting my oxygen through my nose. If I have my mouth open, I'm breathing through my mouth and I'm not getting enough oxygen. Is your nose stuffy? I'm just trying to figure out why you walk around with your mouth open. If you can concentrate on keeping it closed you may get less short of breath cause you'll be getting more oxygen. Does that make sense? If you can't then a mask really does make sense. It sounds like the oxygen supplier is being really helpful. That's great!

I'm sorry you're struggling with issues with your son. The best thing for both you and your son is to let go as Sher stated so eloquently. This isn't something you have any control over in the first place. Our kids are who they are. They are individuals and have to make their own way in the world. He's a grown man Lou and whether you like or dislike, approve or disapprove, you can't change it. Try to put him in God's hands and have peace.

Sorry if this is the first time that you are aware of your son being gay. I guess it makes it more difficult to accept at this time in your life.

Coming out to himself may have created a lot of emotional turmoil for him that he was not able to share with you. Hiding puts a lot of stress on the family. Once it is in the open, there is a sense of relief and acceptance. Being gay is not a choice, accepting it is the choice.
