Hello, everyone. I hope you all are getting ready for Christmas. However if you are like me, you have had Christmas's or having one now, where you're stressed out or in too much pain to enjoy it. but I hope you have a good one anyhow. I have an 18 yr. old son, who came down to live with us about three months ago. He was living with his father in another state. He came here to get off drugs and alcohol. He did, and was doing so great. He has two feet that need surgery on them really bad. We scheduled his surgery and everything, and three days ago, he just up and said a friend was coming to get him and he was going back to where he lived. He started drinking and using because he was depressed. He was sworn into the Marines and was about to go to boot camp, and got a letter saying he was medically discharged due to his feet. That was what he wanted his career to be, and had planned on this for three yrs. Not that turning to alcohol and drugs was the right thing to do though. Now I'm bewildered and depressed, because for once in a long while, I was going to have all three of my boys together for Christmas. A lonely heart needing some compassion. Thanks for listening.
