I feel SO messed up.
Three guesses what it's about! :-)
Yup - my son! His landlady sold some properties & he has to be out by the end of July. He decided he would leave by the end of June. Originally was really 'proactive' about looking for a place, but when he found out that his Disability pension only allowed him to spend about $430/mo on rent it really threw him.
The only option is a room unless he could get a friend to share an apt, but there aren't many options in that area. His friends are messed up too; some don't work; some live at home.SOOO he has decided he'll live on the street....his plan is to pitch his tent in some 'dry' underpass under the road (where he says they used to go to smoke weed).
He's been on the street before & I get SO upset each time.
I'm really stressed. All these various thoughts/worries go through my head & each time my stomach clenches. THAT hasn't happened to me for decades.
I'm attending Nar-Anon meetings, but I am feeling SO upset. Hubby & I were just away for a week at a lovely little cottage, with a pretty flower garden...the surrounding area (Bruce Penninsula, Ontario, Canada) had hundreds of yellow Lady Slipper orchids all along the country roads & the scenery along the water is wonderful but it was really hard for me to enjoy & be relaxed 'cuz I had this NAGGING worry inside me.
I could use support. Lately each time a 'crisis' happens I feel like I have LESS reserves to cope with it. Sometimes I feel like 'how can I go on, when I know this isn't going to end & is only going to get worse?'
