How sad for you Kpat-I am sure you are broken hearted to disapoint your son.
What we loose when we are “in action” is so much more than money-self respect is a biggie.
I remember the “CD” Christmas 5 years ago ( all the family got movies) when I had no money for Christmas and bought my daughter stuff from the thrift so I would have something to wrap. She is a thrifty girl and she didn’t mind. I was crushed and embarrased that I had so little to give my one and only.
Your son sounds like a mature young man. Instead of trying to hid maybe it would take some of the pressure off if you told him and his sister whats going on. My daughter was most upset when I told her-because it meant we could never go to Vegas again! She didn’t get it then but I think she does now. When we talk she asks me if I have been to a meeting and she was there and pinned me at my One year pinning. She was very proud-and when it was said and done she told me how much the people in the group really liked me. The fact that anyone could possible like me was a new consept for sure!
Things do get better but don’t expect it to happen too soon. We cg’s are impatient for sure! I want everything better-yesterday-to heck with waiting for tomorrow!
