Hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve. I spent the evening watching videos with my son and his g/f ..it was a quiet night, but a nice one..I was in bed around 11:30 and a great sleep...My A called me on Friday and we had a great visit for 4 hours. He did open up to me about his guilt and fears. He is planning to see a counselor on this and I highly encouarged him. I hope he can find himself through all this and will see that drinking has caused a lot of his issues. I care about him and will be his friend, although at times, it is difficult as I want a relationship with him, but for now I focus on me and my needs. We have so much in common and can communicate about anything...we trust each other enough to share our deepest darkest fears and secrets.
I will just take this one day at a time and ask for God's strength for both of us.
I wish you all the best in 2006~~take care and enjoy your day! I am off to church..
Loving an A is one of the greatest challenges to face. Wishing you the best. Continue taking care of you ~~ keep the focus on you and then whatever happens you will be able to cope with because as we change, we continue to grow positively.
Keep posting,
