New here to DS to make friends with people going through similiar situations as mine. Seperated for a few years but not sure if I am ready for the Divorce but wondering how much more can I take. I'm a wife at times, a mom always, a sister a daughter and a friend to many. Trying to learn my strengths and how to love myself and figure out what it is that is really going to make me happy again....

Thanks for the hug. My son is doing fine except for his relaspe. I'm not sure if it's meth but I know for sure he's doing other drugs. He has to fight his battle on his own. I've done all I can for him. I worry about him everyday though. I'm going to concerate on my youngest for awhil. I'vwe neglected him the last year trying to help the other. Thanks Joe
I’m With You

Hurting & lonly. Trying to reach out to support groups w/similiar situations as mine. Married 18 yrs and left w 4 children to raise on my own my spouse who I thought was going to always be there for me and was my best friend has decided to become better friends with meth, cocaine, alcohol and has even gotten involved with another women through out it all.
