Why is it, just when you think your adult child is finally on the right path they do something so utterly abhorrent and totally against how they were raised that completely fucks up their life.
My idiot son did that - turned into a thief.
How much is a mother supposed to put up with before she says enough is enough?
I've reached my point I think. I am afraid that if I help him out again it will never stop, and it has to stop. I've given up having a life of my own for the last 22 years for this kid and he doesn't appreciate it.
Living at home rent free with food, drinks, satellite tv, internet, free laundry, hot showers and a warm bed wasn't enough.
I'm done. It's time my adult child lie in the bed he has made and he may have just destroyed his life.
It's time I let go and put him in God's hands.

My son is starting COLLEGE today! Bachelor Degree program at ITT Tech for multimedia & video game design. So proud of him.
I really need to lay off Facebook and post here more often. I've been Facewashed (you know, instead of brainwashed).

For my cousins Dana and Guy and all those still deployed - watch your six soldiers!
For my son - I'm so glad you are in the States and can't wait till you come home in a month!!!!

4 years. It's been 4 years since my Daddy died. That day is scorched into my memory like it was yesterday. Still so many things in limbo and undone. Every day seems so much.... "less" without him. I miss his phone calls every morning to check in. So much has happened that he didn't get to see. So many things I wish I could talk to him about. I'm trying. Most days I fall on my ass. I'm trying to live my life like he lived. He tried to get the most out of every single day. It's just so damn hard without him.
I miss you Daddy. Please send me a penny today.

Alan Simpson, U.S. Senator from Wyoming, calls senior citizens the “Greediest Generation” as he compared Social Security to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats: August, 2010.
Here's a response in a letter from a unknown fellow in Montana... I think he is a little ticked off! He also tells it like it is ! "Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight.. 1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).
3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.
4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.
5 I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills.
6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU.
1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?
2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?
3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?
4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?
It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcaseswho have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That's right,sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of
advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.
And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch. If you like the way things are in America, delete this. If you agree with what a fellow Montana citizen says, PASS IT ON!!!!
My soldiers leave and earnings statement is showing that his pay is cut in half due to this bullshit government dem vs rep pissing contest and government 'shutdown'. Our Military makes diddlysquat as it is and you dickhead politicians send them out to risk their lives for 'our' country and you turn around and fuck them over? I don't think so. DO NOT FUCK WITH MY KID. He has risked his life while you amoral assholes sit in your cushy offices and live off AMERICANS. Get your shit together or you will answer to ME- Do you know who I am? I am "WE THE PEOPLE......"
Did you hear we're going to get a big snowstorm here in the northeast for April Fools Day? It also happens to be my Aunt Jane's birthday - Happy Birthday Jane! You old bitch.
Been talking to Christopher on the phone every day - the reception is so much better than the shitty quality he had in Afghanistan. He's very excited about coming home. I'm still wary and apprehensive. No sense in worrying about it till it happens.
I need to get my arse moving on cleaning out his room and painting and fixing the wall I put him through 3 years ago.
It will be 4 years in 2 weeks since my Dad died. I am still a lost wandering soul without him and it hurts just as much now as when it happened. I've just become better at ignoring the pain for longer periods of time so I can function.
I need to find a local vet that is good with Greyhounds and reasonable. Julieta needs her teeth pulled - bad! If it's going to cost me thousands of dollars I will have to put her down because I can't afford that. The prices vets charge nowadays and all the 'little' costs are absolutely outrageous and it disgusts me.
OK - back to work now. It's Thirsty Thursday - what will you be drinking tonight?

After 328 days of deployment in Afghanistan my son is back on US soil at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Unfortunately, I couldn't be there to welcome him home. He will be coming home to my house in a couple months to restart his life. Hopefully a man and with a much better attitude than when he was made to leave my home.
I'm very proud of him.
Welcome home Christopher!
