After going through what I just did, pain is laughable 🖤

@SW-User it’s a bit of a shock that we have to do that sometimes - doesn’t seem like we should have to fight for the world to care about a child, but it’s a sad fact. Always has been I think. It strikes me how lucky he is in you. You speak often of how alone the two of you are, but if two people have to go it alone, the quality and dedication of those two individuals can make up for a lot. You have more in each other than many with large families have altogether. You’re beautiful. 🤗❤️

@JustNik Ugh thank you 🖤 Got a tear out of me 🥹

You’re right. It’s completely worth it and you just get stronger. All I care about is that he learns to find his own happiness because mostly that’s the only option.

@SW-User I don’t know how he can’t, living with the likes of you! In the bag, Mom! 😄🤗🤗🤗 Lots of love to you both. 💞💞

@Pretzel I’m going to move and settle down. Southwest US, something small and sustainable where my son can make friends. Have a greenhouse and solar. Try for some kind of hybrid “life” so we can keep putting adventure in our years. We’ve been through some crazy stuff. I want to set him up as best as possible. This boy is going through hell. It’s time to put down some roots.

@SW-User you're a good mom!

I remember your comments about the dessert and loving it - (for me it's the hill country of VA/TN/NC) - but there is beauty everywhere if one looks closely enough.

good for you for making the change!

@Pretzel it is definitely hard to decide where is most beautiful in this country! Western NC or Maine, or the bayou and gulf coast, the desert and sunshine, parts unexplored gahhh! I may do the van thing full time if I make it past 66 unlike my parents did. When he’s all good, I’ll have some good old crone adventures 😆

Thank you dear friend. It’s time. Very clearly time to leave and don’t look back.

@samueltyler2 I don’t want to share what he’s going through on here because if someone said something ignorant I’d probably kill them.

Thank you.

@SW-User if you want support, i am happy to have you share with me, do it on a PM. As a retired physician, I guarantee i will read it and be supportive, not nasty.
