Good for you! That is what keeps my ex going. I did not give up on my son, but I could not care for him the way I used to anymore. So he has him. He is twenty seven going to be twenty eight. He has gone from size 34 pants to size 40 pants over the year and a half he has been there, which concerns me, but otherwise, he lives for that boy and fights his depression and pain by taking care of him. I see him regularly and they live in the same trailer park as I do, so I can pop in at any time.
depression has lessened some, had holiday party with all the kids but one who is out of state and two out of four of the grandchildren. Reminds me what I am here for. No matter how tired and in pain I am.
