Not gonna lie, this past year has been the toughest since I sobered up thirteen years ago.  Although very slowly, the thought of drinking again, over time, has crept up on me like a cheetah after it’s prey.  Not to worry though, thank the Lord I have the skills to get through those cravings/desires, etc. Here’s the truth. Having two special needs children is not easy.

There’s just no easy way out of the troubles inherent:

• one income

• always having to be with the most severe one

• the constant phone calls/complaints from schools, daycare, etc.

• the lack of real/consistent/quality help

• a constant lack of finances, lack of genuine care from others

• programs/funding ending
  

Here’s how we make it through

Sit down and cry, kneel down and pray, and stand up and get to work controlling the only things we have control over…

• Our attitude

• How we choose to look at it

• How we face the future

• How we react to the lack of help from others (bitterness or compassion--not an easy one for me)

• And, oh yeah, we have a great therapist!!!!

If you’re struggling to adjust to an unfair situation in life, give us a call, we can help….
