Change is difficult, but there are times when I think about different times in my life when I was miserable due to the changes taking place, and think, thank goodness things changed. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting!

My car is in the shop, so I had to ask a friend to bring me to my doctor. Oh, I'm weary of doctors even if they saved my life. <br /><br />Your comment touched me so I wanted to reply before I left and when I heard her honk her horn I felt like I hadn't said everything I wanted to say. <br /><br />For one thing, I admire your courageous and candid comment. I think if anyone reads this that's experiencing the same circumstances, your words will help them understand that they're not alone, as well as give them some advice on what to do. All any of us can do is the best we can and it sounds like that's what you and "hubby" are doing. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing and I meant everything I wrote in my first reply; which isand that is, 'I know you're a good mother and so does your son, and to remember no matter how he acts, he loves you both. Do not forget that.' <br /><br />I'm sorry I had to dash out before I finished replying. <br /><br />Have a great evening, and as always, thanks for taking the time to write such a great comment. <br /><br />"Big Hugs," back to you! And Simon says thanks!:)<br /><br />xoxoxo aniceplaceinthesun.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356497322124481526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-55047908619124966422016-01-14T16:24:22.403-06:002016-01-14T16:24:22.403-06:00How cool is this!

Whether you're married or not. I'm so sorry about your son. It's so hard isn't it? We have to just watch them mess up and can't do a thing about it. It's like being tied to a tree. <br /><br />Thanks for writing back and letting me know it didn't make you feel bad, 'cause I was worried about it. <br /><br />I'm writing you more than this, but I have a friend who is outside blowing her horn. She's bringing me to the doctor and I was trying to finish this reply before she got here. So, know I'm going to reply more when I return. <br /><br />You're the best, and thanks again for letting me know. Come back if or when you have time, cause I'm going to add to this reply. <br /><br />You have a fabulous evening too! <br /><br />"Big hugs," back to you- <br />aniceplaceinthesun.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356497322124481526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-57480049454225765492016-01-14T13:56:23.030-06:002016-01-14T13:56:23.030-06:00My son is 45 years old Annie.

He's too into what he wants and will walk over anyone and do most anything to get what he wants as long as he doesn't have to work. It's a shame. Hubby and I are resigned to letting him do whatever he wants without any help from us. He's used us far to long.<br /><br />You did not make me feel bad with this post. I just thought I would weigh in.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day Annie. Big hugs and more scritches to Simon. ♥♥♥Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-36825503929854062552016-01-14T10:42:10.989-06:002016-01-14T10:42:10.989-06:00Oh Sandee, I'm sorry to hear that about your s...<br /> Oh Sandee, I'm sorry to hear that about your son, but I know you're a great mother, I just do, and I hope he will turn things around. After all, we did. I guess that's different, but I believe people can change. <br /><br />Hopefully, he will get tired of the life he's living...and he'll be back. <br /><br />I'm happy you left your first husband, and I'm so happy you found someone you love dearly. I cannot think of anyone who deserves it more.<br /><br />I hope my post didn't make you feel bad. It certainly wasn't my intention. <br /><br />I just couldn't believe I had the same dream. I still feel like it's my son, "Taylor" and I against the world, although he is out on his own with a girlfriend, so really I'M the one against the world. He's a good kid, but he's as self absorbed as the rest of them. <br /><br />Your son will grow up and so will mine. Just remember no matter how he acts, he loves you. Do not forget that. <br /><br />Thank you for your continued support and again, I hope my post wasn't sad. <br /><br />You have a fabulous day too! <br /><br />"Big Hugs," back to you. <br /><br />(And, you, hubby, and Little Bit are still in my prayers.) aniceplaceinthesun.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356497322124481526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-2886545888571435202016-01-14T10:24:27.623-06:002016-01-14T10:24:27.623-06:00I too had a terrible marriage that I finally left....I too had a terrible marriage that I finally left. It was the hardest thing, but the very best thing I ever did. I started to grow and to see what a wonderful thing life was. <br /><br />I'm glad you have a great relationship with your son. I do not. All he wants from us is money and the Bank of America is closed. As soon as we closed the bank he rarely talks to us. It's all about him. He's homeless because he's too lazy to work. It's heartbreaking, but it's his choice. Okay, I'm off topic here, but his is what I was thinking.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day honey. Big hugs to you and tons of scritches to Simon. ♥♥♥Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.com
