Thx Dinah, An additional part comes in - anger at my son doing so many drugs that he damaged himself! And partly that part of his drug use has been to deal with emotional pain. Just another couple of ingredients to add into the mix.
Did anyone ever mention to you that you have a lot of wisdom?
luv, Kath

I don't think it's as easy as saying it and achieving it. We're usually so close that it takes a psychic crow bar to gently prise us apart.
