Well For those who know me, You know my son came to live with me about three months now. He is 20 years old turned 20 in march of this year. He had been doing drugs, and drinking. I really never seen what did take place at his fathers home, BUt IT had to get pretty bad for his father to kick him out. Any way he has a job now and works about 58 to 67 hours a week. I feel bad for him because he stays wore out. But a part of me loves it because he is to tried to think about friends , Or any thing for that matter. Well he open a bank acct :bouncing: He has saved a thousand dollars in three weeks :bouncing: He buys things for him self he can look at tomorrow :bouncing: Then Tonight really grab my heart.... He was talking on the phone to his baby brother (15) who lives with the father still. Telling about work, and what he was buying, and how much money he had saved.... :rolleyes: well I ask him not to tell his brother because his brother would feel bad, But he had to brag anyway! I over heard something He told his brother:::: I HAVE COME TO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW!! I AM THE HAPPIEST I HAVE BEEN IN A LONG TIME>> I LOVE MY LIFE :angel: I think that was music to my ears....I am not sure why he said that But he must have been thinking it. And his baby brother must have ask him are you happy without me in your life, Because he said no I love you and I will always Mess you, But I have to move on with my life, this is not about you! I have to grow up..... I hope that he kepts thinking like that........ I have told him that I am proud of him a few weeks ago, But TO hear him say I LOVE MY LIFE just did somthing to me.... I just had to vent .... I hope he just keeps going and growing...... Keep praying for us and I am doing the same for you guys .................................... BY for now.... :D

Oh my god, I actually envy you right now!!!

How wonderful for you to hear that and the hours he's working and the money he's saving, what a great sign for all of you. Maybe he just needed a total life change and if he could do it that quickly, maybe you got a hold of him before everything else truly did.

Give him a huge hug for me and tell him how proud everyone is of him :angel:

kFld . Thank you, And I know your son is going to come out of this, I can see how much love you have for him, and you are doing the things you have to . to help him Hard LOVE thats the key... Jonathan has told me things that he has done, that I just can not belive he is still alive, I know GOD has been with my child, I think he has done a little of it all. but he hates needles so he didnt go that far. But I think METH is the big thing around here. he use to make it. He did smoke pot everyday for 4 years and drink. he has tryed oxy, klonopin, and others, It was very bad his father has told me so much, BUT I Think when his father kick him out of the house was a wake up call/ and I have to say that it was the first thing the man ever done right for Jonathan. Oh and he has tried me to, he got mad at me about four weeks ago and said some pretty hurtful things to me. Left with his father then called an hour later wonting to come home. After his father told him he could not live there. He relized he had no where to go. I have to say that GOD worked everything out for jonathan. And I hope he keeps up the hard work. I know he is tired, I can see that and he needs some time to just have a little fun... AND I wont him to But the right kind of fun.. I pray god will help him to find something that he enjoys doing when he does not have to work.. LIKE racing motor bikes or something he likes to fish so I take him every time he wonts to go... I know he needs this... And maybe one day he will get all the puzzle worked out. Karen YOUR SON IS GOING TO MAKE IT... GOD SAID TO ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE.... belive in God he will move in your sons life . I truly think God has already begain to work for your family.... And You will see a change too. Thanks felicia
