I haven't written on my blog for a while - partly because I have been so busy, though mostly b/c I've been pretending... or ignoring... or "using my tools".
I haven't read Nic Scheff's new book, but I am catching up on my People Magazine's (I'm like 6 weeks behind...) and read a review. The brief summary sounded - ah - familiar...
In my case, it was the week before Easter and Heather called freaking out... sounding like she was tripping on acid, a BAD trip tough... won't go into all the details (b/c it's 1:15 am and I'm not even sure why I'm up, let alone writing a blog post) but felt it was time to write... as I like to say, just reporting... just getting stuff OUT.
Hopefully I'll get to write more soon when I have more time... though we're going out of town, and then I have jury duty when we return... no stress...
She said it was pot...
and that she lied to us and had been smoking it EVERY DAY (for two years???)... and that her father knows this and is cool with it b/c he smokes it every day too...
On one hand, it was not oxy.
On the other hand DISAPPOINTMENT
On the other hand DISAPPOINTMENT
wait, that's three hands, well that's what I felt.
Mother's Day was actually nice... I "judged" on her behavior and not on my wondering if the behavior was so spectacular b/c she was high. Chose to just enjoy her, and lift her up, and encourage her. I love her.
I feel like I haven't gotten out everything I want to say, but I'd really better go to bed...
God bless.
What is the pay-off for nothing…

ReplyDeletehang in there.
Hey Sweet Lady, good to see a post from you. I'm glad you have a place to "report" your feelings on what's going on. I'm going to choose to focus on the fact that she's not doing Oxy. Weed is not good, but its not likely to destroy or kill you.
ReplyDeleteHearing about her dad makes me realize that its a good think Keven's dad doesn't see him because he's an ass (got him drunk on his 18th birthday then let him drive).
I can't wrap my head around any Parent thinking it is okay to do drugs with their kid or tell them it is okay. I don't have that problem but my sons Father is emotionally destroying my son in other ways. It is amazing to me how much a Parent can destroy their children.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Nic had a knew book I will look it up. I heard he had relapsed I hope not.
You mention pot....I remember thinking about a year ago that I want to go back to the days where I found pot in his room. YIKES! I couldn't believe I thought that but there are times I still do to be honest.
