Feels much better than saying yes and regretting it.<br /><br />Brother Frankie- The gift of gab was my gift also. It's amazing how when you use it for good how much you can accomplish. The VA thing is his hustle. He goes from rest stop to rest stop and tells people he is a stranded veteran who just got back from duty and needs money to get to base. I see an ass whooping coming his way or jail if he keeps it up. Love you too BroFrankie<br /><br />Annette- Hi Annette, glad you stopped by. I'm sorry you can relate to all of this. I am getting ready to stop by and visit your blog. Lou has such a good knack for making people feel united in this growing struggle. I shall be visiting your blog today. :)Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284123619357068571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073886702008790829.post-28859207484905683272012-02-21T10:41:40.483-05:002012-02-21T10:41:40.483-05:00Hi Lori, I found you through Lou.

Than they tell you "but Ma, I'm clean"...bullshit. I just turned 45 in December and my patience is wearing thin. I just keep doing the best that I can, like all of us moms' do. God Bless you and the family and all the mothers out there in this struggle.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284123619357068571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073886702008790829.post-6610978161934794852012-02-18T10:27:12.180-05:002012-02-18T10:27:12.180-05:00Lori, you know I get this!

He was a nicer addict than he was a drunk, that's for sure.<br />You are like all of us--a good mother, doing the best she can.<br /><br />God bless you and your boys, sweetie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
