Pieces of my heart

I am so grateful that I got the experience of being a mom the total love and affection for a small being who you get to love, nurture, and keep alive Time passes, though, and both of my boys grew into adults I still love them as much as ever, but our relationships have changed, as they should While they make their way as young adults, I get to sit back and watch, pray, and support them as I can Do I always get it right? NOT at all! But it comes from my heart. As each of them strived to make their mark on the world, one of my sons experienced addiiction. It has been a heart breaking journey for the whole family. I pray for him constantly. It has been very hard to receive scorn and anger from my oldest son on how I have handled his brother's addiction. Apparently, I have done nothing right and how dare I reach out for his support? Families are a wonderful place to find love and acceptance however, it is also a place to find very deep hurt because those closest to you can hurt you the deepest.
