Honesty, Just in Case You Misunderstood.

[PrairieGurl]

I had something else posted here earlier. After some thought I realized it really didn't matter much. Not that honesty isn't the best policy...just I had written on 'the spure of the moment', instead of thinking it thru...something it seems I have to work on. And of course, really need to work on being honest with myself.

If I new how to delete this thread...I would.

Hey, many of us have been there. It has taken counseling and much hard work for my hubby and I to improve our relationship and there are still times that supportive is not a word I would use to describe my dear hubby. So relax, Thankfully God loves us the work in progress that we all are!!!! I blew up and yelled at a friend of my son's yesterday-the Zach that has been eating me out of house and home!!!! And now my son an d I are both very depressed (we are both bp) So I am very thankful that God loves us as works in progress!!!

Do you think many didn't 'make it' Alive ?
I'll relax Alive...I just didn't want it to sound like something it is not.

Zach is still living with yous??? Maybe I didn't pray hard enough???

I'm sad you're depressed again Alive. In times like this, does it draw your son and you closer? Being you both know the disease? Is he still on his meds?

Actually, I don't think I've even been affected by what you are describing. Maybe I missed something on your homepage...or maybe I missed something....like my brain (so it seems lately). All this to say...you're the same ole Wendy to me!!!!!!!!!!!

Wendy, thanks for you prayers. No, it did not draw us closer but further apart because I wasn't civil to his friend, therefore he took it personally and is offended that I have told his friend he can only eat bread at our house. Zach still showed up at my house that noc and the next day. My son and Zach took off and were gone into the wee hours of the night. It feels very much like I am the bad guy for saying quit eating the food I have plannned to use for dinner!! I shouldn't have to tell anyone not to eat somethinga t my house without my permission. But they always have a reason that they feel is justified-(My son) he asked me. . etc. Zach ate part of 3 dinners I had planned in 2 days. He was eating primarily corn dogs and those types of junk foods and meat and cheese. FOr 3 months he has been eating at my house and hasn't lost a bit of weight. I was having to hide food in my own home and was unable to buy food for my son that he enjoys because of Zach. My son's solution , my friend is more important to me than food, so I will just not eat when Zach is here. My son weighs 150-has lost weight since high school, Zach weighs over 200 pounds. My son works, Zach sells his blood for money and sleeps and eats at other people's houses. Just pray that my son will develop wisdom and discernment about his friends. My son is now starting to hang out with the street kids again, thaks to Zach. But unfortunately hno matter how many times I talked politely to Zach and drew boundaries, all I ever heard was I'm sorry I did what I knewyou said not to do. Yes, I blew, yes, I had planned to be calm and collected, but it didn't happened that way. And now Zach is using my actions to win the battle for the soul of my son, which truly is a bigger and more important battle. Sorry to dump in your thread

Sorry to dump in your thread

You didn't dump in my thread Alive. I asked the questions and thanks for sharing.
I can not understand what you are going thru, but will continue to pray for you and your family and 'house guest' (a name I use lightly)

s & s,
Wendy
