Laughing

That's OK Easy - it isn't the corner!!

Some interesting things in the Lounge.  

Read about your son.  Sorry - and it bites.  Had a bro that
had some real issues with drugs.  Almost killed him and very hard
on the family.  He had to want to get better and he did.

I'm no counselor so not much use to you - but Justinsmama was
reaching out this a.m.  That's what she does for a living --- am sure
she is fantastic..  Hope you got her email.  

You can't hold yourself responsible for bad decisions your son makes - only bad decisions that YOU make.

Easy, I emailed you earlier. I have mucho personal experience with the horrible disease of addiction. I'm sure your son doesn't want it to be like this either, but the ball is in his court. He has to want the help and all you can do is support him in that...but otherwise, you can't help him. He has to work on this himself.

I'm sorry you had such a nightmarish episode with him last night...Maybe it will open his eyes and he'll get some help. It's hard to do, reach out and put yourself in a place to receive help, but many have done it and come out on the other side...

Easy,

Am so glad you are back online. Haven't had any sleep since your posting early this am.

Glad you are OK... hitting in the chest also hurts in the heart.

We all are behind you... I bet everyone on this blog has gone through or is going through tough times and we get depressed and frustrated.

I hope they have a prayer circle again soon... it helped me just being part of it.

Are you finished with Jossy book yet?

Keep you chin up and your you know what off the ground

Your Monkey friend,

IBE

PS... I read this blog when depressed and not depressed. The words aren't coming out right... but I feel better after being with the Monkeys.

IBE,

In case you see this, I created a thread just a few minutes ago to see if we can get another one going...

Easy,

I have some info for you that might help in dealing with the situation with your son. Have you ever been to Al Anon? It's an amazing support group and there should be several meetings in your area...

OK Easy,

What's up? are you there... Knock Knock

Just finished a bagel with crunchy peanut butter on it and a Coke... well, it's close to the end of the month.

Always like it when you show your mom. I kept the picture weeks ago... it reminds me of my late mom... Hope you didn't mind.

She and I have been to Mobile Bay and seen the sunsets.... we were better at sunsets than sunrises.

If you aren't online... perhaps you can get some sleep. I am trying off and on.

Hang in there.... our Easy

Hey Easy,

I e-mailed you this, but I'll say it here too.

You know I'm your friend, so I hope you know I'll always be on your side.

Hugs.

Easy , I have not read your post that caused you to be sent to the lounge. The lounge is a good place to vent so it is not punishment. lOL

I do get the feeling from the other monkey's post that it is a problem with one of your sons. I am going to pray for both you and your son. I hope this will help both of you in some way. I know God does listen.

Thank you, BT.  I just finished reading the LCD and read his postings on the incident with his son.

Easy falls into a clear pattern. When upset, he posts pics. I wonder if ANY Of these are current. Maybe they are old ones and he is reliving his youth. I'd like to see a current pic.

In just the same way that Easy is crying out for attention by posting pics again and giving us about one teasing sentence per post, his son is crying out for attention. When kids don't get attention by being good, they will try to get attention by being disruptive. I think the son is copying the father.

John Lennon said he was absolutely too busy with his career to pay any attention whatsoever to Julian, who later became a drug abuser. When John was older, and Sean was born, he let Ono work and he stayed home with his son.

So, Easy what is your story? What hurt you so bad that you and your son are crying out for help? What happened that you cannot communicate with your son in words instead of violence?

You have to do something. Something. You cannot move forward without taking a risk.

Is it a need for attention, or a need to communicate?  When one finds themselves in isolation due to illness and other misfortunes life has perpetrated, it becomes a natural instinct to speak out across the internet.

If my tale of woe bothers you, then there is a simple choice to be made.

I have heard a lot of people lately say how much they enjoy seeing the pictures. Most people are fascinated with pictures of those they know, especially when they communicate over the internet and don't actually get to see the other person in real life.

The baby picture thread is wonderful. Even old photos tell us so much about our internet friends. Maybe we could have a thread with pictures of our past selves when we were no longer babies. Some would probably not be comfortable with that, but others might get a real kick out of it.

Just a thought. Very Happy

Please don't post any current pictures... just take a look at the dark side to see why not.... no one needs to be drug through the mud.... and you never know where your face will end up being super-imposed.
TIA....

IF we didn't have to contend with the absolute crap that goes on out there, I would love to see pictures... but I want y'all to be safe!

Oh, Mrs. Red ~ I'm sorry ~ I thought BT meant pics that were from the in-between years of pre-teen and teenagers ~ NOT current ones ~ NO WAY for those!  Too scary with all the yo-yos out there.

Easy, I understand, in a way what you are saying, here.  I have my own personal, inherited situations that make my daily existence a challenge.  To some it's a misfortunate occurance, and to others it may just be an obstacle.  From day to day, I see it differently, especially when dealing with an elderly father who is forgetting more and more each day.  

In my life I've dealt with loved ones with substance abuse, mental illness and a slew of other things from financial, emotional and health issues.  I've managed to still be here.  

You opened the thread...been waiting for you to talk...if you need a bigger audience, maybe 'they will come'.

I know I've been watching & waiting.
