Everything surrounding addiction is a nightmare rollercoaster ride raging out of control. My heart goes out to each of you who share this exhausting journey. What a triumph for your DIL and that the children can know a safe place away from the craziness of addiction (or at least the craziness of drug addiction!! Fabric addiction is like a playground in contrast :):):) <br /><br />I appreciate that you could share the stories because it helps all of us to understand those around us better and better. Walking with those who carry the burdens is sometimes all we can offer, but that is far better than indifference and judgement. <br /><br />I pray your son will find the secret of escape from his terrible ordeal and that you will live to experience it with him. As well as his children. <br /><br />And the quilt has turned out to be a real beauty ~ ~ aren't surprise quilts fun? and some of us need all the fun we can find. May you have a quiet rest of peace this evening. <br /><br />HugsKaraquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655248575732793068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773094311026970819.post-8673804088797240082016-09-12T11:15:22.442-04:002016-09-12T11:15:22.442-04:00You daughter-in-law is so strong, pulling herself ...You daughter-in-law is so strong, pulling herself & two generations away from addiction. I can't imagine your powerless sense of loss about your son. <br />If I could, I would bring you a casserole (I'm not so good at pie), a bag of scraps & my listening ears.smazoochiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716977786728589960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773094311026970819.post-68126211180554248012016-09-11T22:41:02.234-04:002016-09-11T22:41:02.234-04:00It saddens me to picture a 12 year old trying drug...It saddens me to picture a 12 year old trying drugs, and becoming hooked. Our headlines are filled with reports of and Ice epidemic in Australia. I find it quite scary. I never tried drugs when I was young because I was scared I'd become addicted. Bless you Diane, it must all be so hard to cope with. Thank goodness your daughter is out there enjoying herself, I believe lots of backpackers over here do farm work and I've heard of WWoof over here!
