Hi everyone.
I've been wanting to Re-connect with my Forum Friends for a long time.
Sorry I haven't been present on Forums much.
I'm using my current crisis as a motivator or leverage.
Both to reconnect with as many of you as I can
AND
TO HAVE YOUR Cyber Presence HERE WITH ME as I am in the Pychiatric Ward of a major Hospital at the moment.

@eth @Adge @Mazarita @Scarecrowe @Bimby2 good morning all. hope your Sunday goes well for you. I woke up angry. real angry. I'm having a hard time containing it. don't worry I'm smarter than that. it won't control me. but I am going to let it all out, to my stepson today. we told him he's not welcome here last night, he came back this morning, saying I have no where else to go. you should've thought about that before you treated us like crap. tuff love, is all I have for him today. I'm forcing his hand to make a decision, get proper mental health treatment or leave. that's it. we are done with him

A very tough situation to be in @octavia I can understand why you have woken up angry.
It is usually the way, people don't know what they have got until it is gone........i.e a roof over their head..........
Sometimes tough love is what is required..........................someone sang the words once......cruel to be kind........
I hope that all works out for you and the whole family................and that expressing how you feel here has made you feel a little calmer at least
I send hugs and blessings to you..........

Hi @octavia in this situation I think your anger is totally warranted and hope you do manage to say all you need to to him this morning. And especially that your husband presents a united front with you. Best wishes for the best outcome, that your stepson agrees to be helped by professionals. That he goes voluntarily to hospital to detox and rehab and get meds that keep him more stable. It's always much better to go voluntarily rather than be taken involuntary and scheduled (that's just my opinion having done both more than once). Will be thinking of you.
As always, love your pictures @Adge . As someone with a couple of tatoos I appreciate that one in particular. Often wish I could put pictures of them on here but I designed them myself and they could be identifying if anyone from the forums lived in my town.
Hi to you too @Scarecrowe

Yeah @Scarecrowe @octavia that's the most positive outcome I can see for this situation, for the cycle to be broken and some sense of peace to return.
