Hello Everone,

I had a very tough day today....I woke up with the intentions of doing some things around the house but my body and mind were just not able to do them....I did work on a lamp shade I'm making for my sister and bro-inlaw....

I slept the rest of the day, I also got a call from my bp son telling me he got layed of from his job of a week and a half....It was a business that just opened and were over staffed....being the last one he was the chosen one....He was crying...Course that made me feel sad along with my depression...it just wayed me down....

This evening my son called me, he was calling to see if any of the busineses had called, the applications and interveiws he had gone for....He also told me how he is hungry all the time....I took him some food and visited for a while...I can't have him live here but I can help him that way....He told me how he was happy I went to visit him....

It's so hard to see him go through this but with my own health problems I cant have him live here it's too much for me....he takes so much for granted and was mistreating me....

I did tell him tomorrow we could fill out the application for Disability, so he could get Maine Care or Disability....He's more than cooperating now...He didn't care when he was living here, but now he is in need so he realizes where he went wrong...

I love him so much, and want to do so much for him but I can't do for myself at this point....I'll help him as much as possible....He's my son, how can I not help him....His dad hasn't been in his life for 7-8 years and when he was he was very abbusive....

I just pray tomorrow I wake up with more energy, I have my physical tomorrow and my follow up for the new meds. I'm taking to sleep at night....I'm sure I'll feel better going to my doctors....

Thank you for your support...Sue

Hey Sue im sorry for you not feeling well, maybe tomorrow you will have more energy. It is a great thing that you are helping your son, he may his issues but you are still his mom and you know that, i think i would do the same thing if i was in your situation.

Good luck on your appt tomorrow and the new meds.

Things are working out, he's becomming a friend to me....He's looking for a job, I'm praying that he hangs in there....I went over to visit him today, I was going to take him for lunch but he already ate....I had to do some shopping so he came with me and I bought him some food...He was so appreciative....

He wants to come do some painting at the house to repay me....He told me he'd rather have something to do when he's in the process of job hunting....So, I'm going to take him up on that....He's earning his food....He never helped me when he lived at home....so, I'm hoping he follows through with his word....We'll see....He's going to house sit this weekend for me....We're going away....

I'm not hovering over him and he's not hovering over me....

I'm happy with the way things are going....Unfortunately, both my kids had to learn the hard way, My daughter is doing very well for herself, and I believe my son will do well....

I thank you so much for your caring words, It's people like you that give me the Faith to keep my spirits...Sue

Hello, I had a wonderful trip....I can see where my boyfriend gets his personality....He can be so mean...His Mom is so mean....My B/F son is such a good boy...the kids cousins were riding on B/F parents four wheelers, having a great time...We go up there twice a year and mom says your tiering up my lawn, course where they were riding you couldn't see because their lawn is so big...then she mentions that they are expensive toys, then the gas....father says nothing, he was enjoying his grand children on the four wheelers, they are 11 and 12 and weren't horse playing they were just riding around in circles.....she is just so mean about things, she didn't have anything growing up, it's almost like she is jealous of the kids having fun....Her granddaughter that is 12 rides them all the time....I guess I am different, If it were my grandchildren I'd enjoy being able to have that for them, the lawn, gas, and whatever she was complaining about would be nothing, I just would enjoy seeing them have some good clean fun....the two younger grandchildren were on the back.....they were singing and having a ball.....I don't know why people are just so mean and selfish....it's beyond me....thank you for your words of support....Sue

Hi Sue I dont understand why she acts that way but atleast you get to see her only twice a year and not all the time.

Maybe she is just a grouch in general.. some people are just mean because that is there defense mechanism.
