Authentic Stories Sharing His Authentic Love
This episode is a reflection back to the time just before I began my recovery. There is anger, bitterness, pain, acceptance, and resolve here. I began to confront some hard truth within myself, and it was HARD! If you’re in that place, know you are not alone.
I play the 'forget game' to move on. Forget what they did, forget what they said, forget the pain, forget the abuse, forget the porn, forget the drinking. I work so hard to forget, I never allow myself to heal.
You have considered your legacy for a couple decades now. What will it be? My dear lady, it is never for you to know. It is written once you breathe your last, leaving this world behind.
I could not manage or navigate this heart breaking journey without His love and care.
Not my God! His love says, “Surrender, come to me all who are weary and heavily burdened, and I will carry you. Tether to me, my load is light, and yours is heavy. Give this to me.”
…I fell to my knees. Outside his room, I sobbed to God. "If you have to take my son, I understand."
Perhaps my destiny is marked by a neon sign flashing ‘overcomer’ and a fate filled with wonder and awe.
Who abandoned who?
Is it possible to go on when our children are alive but not living? Are we destined to remain in their addiction with them? Does the pressure from society and being the parent needing to fix this weigh on you?
I see a rant ahead, but I will not tackle that today. I will cut this short and end with a, "Yes, I enjoy my job." (I'm sure there are 2000-word responses one can find here somewhere)
