About Me
I'm a 41 y.o. Christian mother & grandmother struggling with my faith because it's taken one beating after another for such a long time. I know that God helps me get around every obstacle; I sure could use a break, though.

Support Groups
Close Grandparents Raising Children
GMaWilli hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Close Families & Friends Of Addicts
My son & the mother of his baby have struggled with drug addiction for several years. AT times, the situation seems better, but the monster always seems to loom in the background waiting to rear its ugly head and drag them both back down into the pits of addiction. I pray every day that they will beat it. Nothing beats up your faith worse than loving a heroin addict, or in my case, TWO of them. Someone stop this roller coaster & let me off.
Treatments
- Al-Anon Considering
- Would like to go to some meetings. My ex is serving 15 yrs. for crime he committed while drunk & now I've been battling with my son's addictions for a good 5 years.
- Patience Not Working
- I'm running out of it.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Would be much more helpful if I could afford to get a good counselor and keep going to him/her. Kids have never been open to it, but I sure wish they would give it an honest go.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- for a little while, but they always go right back to the stuff.
- Writing Working / Worked
- Helps ease my stress level & I can get support here where I can't from the everyday people in my life who just don't understand on the same level.
Open Heroin Addiction & Recovery
People I love with all of my heart are slaves to this monster. I'm here for support.
Treatments
- Suboxone Somewhat Helpful
- seemed to be effective, but my son didn't stay on it, so it didn't work more than the few days he used it to pacify me.
Open Step Families
I've been dating my fiance' for over 6 years. We got engaged in May. We don't live together, but I spend a LOT of time at his house with his kids. I was married once & have some real anxiety about getting married again & having a successful 2nd marriage/family. My kids and his kids don't particularly like each other very much. My fiance' doesn't have much of a relationship with my kids, but I have a very close one with his because that's where he & I spend the majority of our time.
Open Sexual Abuse
GMaWilli hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Codependency
GMaWilli hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Families of Prisoners
My children's father (ex-husband) is incarcerated. Has been in since 10/02 & was sentenced to 15 years. The aftermath has been like a nuclear bomb. He wasn't the only one who was given a sentence that day.
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I try to keep the lines of communication open & never bad mouth my ex for what he did or why he's in prison.
Open Single Parenting
Even when I was married to their father, emotionally I felt like a single parent; However he was a great provider & there was still his physical presence & some good times. In 2000 I left him because he committed an unspeakable act against a 12 y.o. while under the nfluence of booze. He's been incarcerated since 2002. The fallout from the choices he's made have been STEEP. He serves his sentence inside while I serve mine out here. He has NO clue the price that is being paid by all of us.
