Keep the faith, Michelle. I’m sorry for the incredibly painful times you are going through right now — and Sky … the boy is hurting. Keep on keeping on. I hope the house, the space, the work, the purpose, gives him something to hold onto - but the thing he needs most is your continued love, his little brother and any other supports he can get. Have you looked at getting him checked out by a psychiatrist? Not too worry you more, but the comment about dying and all that surrounds that, might indicate a level of depression that needs professional care.

Email if you want to talk more.

Also, had a bad person trolling around my site & had to set-up a new one … http://www.janepoet.blogspot.com –sending you peace and love, xx, JP/deb

I still admire you enormously. I’d have no idea how to cope with even the tiniest of your problems.

I’m glad you have the house and have something to keep Sky occupied. Cry if you need to. I always find it cathartic. Keep blogging. Don’t let it fester inside you.

It has to be tough not being able to really talk to people around you. We are all here to listen and offer our ears and support.

Glad the house is coming along and can’t wait to see the “finished” product. How fun is that they are working together on it.

I will be here as long as you are here. As a mom, it is devastating and scary to deal with drug issues. They make our children(and lives) so unpredictable. It would be especialy difficult to have no one to really discuss it with–and it’s hard to find people who aren’t judgmental. Since I’ve been through it with my brother, I can tell you that my family was solid, my parents were loving, they’ve been married for 53 years, NOTHING makes a difference. People want it to be something that SOMEONE has done wrong, but it often isn’t the case. In my brother’s, it was just who he was and his lack of confidence plus dreadful ability to pick friends and girlfriends. As families we have to deal with *crap* the best we can. I’m so relieved that you’ll have a good family place for everyone. Hugs.

I’m just an old fart but I am here for you. Sorry if I keep giving advice when you have problems. You know, most teachers are “fixers”, myself included, and I feel a strong need to help fix problems when sometimes the best thing is for me to simply shut up and just listen. I need to work on that trait! Anyway, I hope that knowing someone cares out there in the cold cyberspace brings you a little comfort during the tough times. If I want to be entertained I’ll throw a good comedy on the DVD player. I listen to you because your life is real and you are struggling like the rest of us are in various ways.

I am really happy that your house is coming along. Wow, it sounds like a lot a work but it will all be worth it when you all finally can move in. What a sense of pride you will have!
