Just been a bad month. Don't even want to weigh myself. I am determined to get back at it and try and have the most positive outlook I can have. I know I have to really start caring about myself. Been dealing with my oldest who is at his worst ever. We have tried to help but he seems determined to stay on his path of destruction. He fell off the wagon about a year ago and has just lost himself in drugs and depression. He is now living on the street. Myself and one of his childhood friends have gone and picked him up several times this past month but he just returns to the street. Trying not to let this drive me crazy. His two younger siblings are just plain fed up with him and say they are worried much more about me and the effect his chosen life is having on all of us. Wish I knew the answer. Wish I had a magic wand.

I've been there with family. And it takes a toll. It's very consuming. When you are someone who is a giver, you end up giving away yourself. It is NOT selfish to focus on you. Just remember that. Life should be 51% focus to you and 49% focus to everything else. You can't help someone if you are defeated. And children will build up further resentment toward the other one if they see you are suffering too much. Just make sure to allow yourself happiness.

You need to take care of yourself and be as healthy as you can be. Keep being a good teacher for the younger ones. Hopefully your oldest son can get into a rehab program. Praying things get better for all of you.
