@riverbendab it’s been awhile … hoping things might be better for you? I think about my son everyday … I miss him everyday … don’t want to feel like this anymore … what kind of life is this?

@bellsback
It has been a few months I think I have not been online.

I have been able to see my son, talk with (or have him talk to me) and give him food, cigarettes and lately he is always asking for $20.
But that is another price I pay to see him and know he is alive.

He did come to stay at my house 2 nights when it got down below -20c. It was not too bad the first night, he just slept. But the second night was getting really tough. Then the morning of the third day he left. Going back to his tent I guess. I work today and tomorrow, so I will check on him Thursday.

I know the money is going to drugs, even though I beg him to use for food. But I just go crazy if start to loose sight of him for too long.

When he was here my husband got to see what I have been dealing with, and agreed I cannot say anything to my son. He will just argue even it is just a small thing. Like the exercises I do with my hands for my arthritis.
