The meeting was good. 11 people; very nice folks.
I got pretty teary during the readings from the book. They are GOOD!!!!!
I 'connected' with one lady in particular & I guess vice versa, as she approached me afterwards & we chatted. She said I could phone her if I needed to.
Saw my son today. I drove him to his appointnment with his worker & afterwards he came over to my place & put his shoulder-length hair into a ponytail & buzzed it off. I'm glad because he was looking so "down & out"!!!! I was actuallyl sort of embarassed to be seen with him. :-( He asked if I'd be willing to wash his clothes while he was having a shower (which I was because they were SO smokey!!) When I emptied his pockets before putting them into the washer, there were 2 tiny plastic bags (drug-type bags). Plus his eyes looked QUITE different - very small pupils. I know he's using & I suspect he's using various things. Alcohol, weed, cocaine, E that I know of.
SOOOOOO - I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that he'll get psychosis again. I don't know how much difference the anti-pschotic meds will make if he keeps pumping sh*t into his body!!! His poor brain.....it's supposed to be healing!!
Oh well. In the meantime, Nar-Anon meetings will hopefully help keep me sane & healthy!!
I HATE drugs. They have ruined SO many lives.
Oh well. Nothing I can do about it, right?
Thanks for your ongoing support.
hugs, Kath
PS - how are you-all?
