The New Me And Our Quest To Become Debt Free And Have Self Belief

Its said that parents take there children a long way in life but you have a great family and that you will be able to get through this and look back with pride knowing that you have still got your family around you:T :A :T

Oh what a touching post. Remember that kids are tough and when the going gets tough..the tough get going. I spose you feel only what any other responsible parent would feel - complete failure and helplessness. In your eyes you are a failure not only to him but too yourself and probably your OH as well - of course you are not. Remember that your son doesnt live in a material world, to him, all that is material is immaterial as he has proved with his perception of your upset. Its hard to find the right words:

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday. what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

You will lift off in the right direction shortly. Take care, Lenny

Wow Weller that's one amazing little boy you have there. When I see kids on TV nowadays and they're right little brats wanting this that and the other it really saddens me to think how their parents must be raising them to make them so selfish and greedy, so it's wonderful to hear that there are people out there getting it right and bringing up thoughtful, caring, selfless children who are so devoted to, and respectful of, their parents.

Bravo to you I say

Weller if it makes you feel any better.....I felt like a complete an utter rubbish human being yesterday and thought my BF would be better off without me.

Why?

Because I had promised myself I would go out Friday night, not have a lot to drink, come home quite early and then get up quite early on Saturday and make the most of the day with him.

In reality I came home at 2.30am, shabbily drunk......waking up at 9.00am only to take 2 paracetamol, go back to sleep till 11.00am, crawl out of bed & put PJs on, have a cup of tea and curl up on the sofa cursing the evils of alcohol. I didn't get showered till 1.30pm!

I felt like a complete failure and a rubbish human being.

What do you think?

Lookingahead, not getting out of bed til 11am and not getting showered til 1:30 sounds like a normal Saturday morning to me, and I never go out drinking on a Friday.

Weekends are SUPPOSED to be for lazing around

It's half one... I'd best go for a shower.

LOL - I know what you mean.....I guess I was being a little facetious.

I've only read a few posts and chances are I am going to repeat stuff - sorry if I do, but its not on purpose - but the fact your child said that to you is conclusive proof that you are far from the worst parent in the world. Its a great relfection of how he has been brought up and its a shame that more parents do not bring their kids up in the same way.

You love him, look after him and want whats best for him. There is no neglect, no resent - just love and dedication. This whole experience will keep him grounded and help to shape his future too. Far from it being a negative, its actually a massive positive.

Just keep on keeping on.
