Don't know what to do
I guess today I'm feeling really guilty that I'm so happy and things in my life are going so well. I suppose I feel like I've been selfish and this is my punishment. I had dinner with Mark tonight. He's living with his buddy Jessie and selling plasma to pay his share of the rent. No laundry detergent, no toothpaste, almost out of food. I took him and Kelly to Buffalo Wild Wings and then out to buy some groceries. I feel terrible. I know I've taught him better, I know I've tried to inspire him to strive for more, but I suppose you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink. I'm just not sure what else I can do right now. I want to help him find a job, I want to make sure he is living some place clean and safe. in reality all I can do for him is pray...

Congrats on getting married! So are you guys living in Indy now?
ReplyDeleteI'll pray for Mark. Sometimes, as a parent of adults (so I've heard), you have to realize that you did your best and the rest is up to them. Just be there for him emotionally.
Call me sometime! I do miss you so much.
you do a great job. The kids just need to learn to survive on their own. You can only open the door, they have to walk thru it.
