I think I know why my motivation has been down...... My son, the 18 year old one, well he took off friday to beach week in Myrtle Beach. He took off in his car that is not registered, no insurance, tags etc. he also does not have a drivers license and he insisted and went against my will on his own. So I've worried to death, well as luck would have it he got caught driving Saturday morning and was put in Jail overnight. He's got religion now. Took all their $ they had to bail him out. So no $ or food for about 2 days :) Swears he's going to abide by the laws. Then Monday night they got a friend to wire them $50 and then some street person popped them upside the head and robbed them taking that $ as well. So he's been down there with the no $, no food nothing and it has just stressed me beyond what I'm capable of. In fact it's been very hard to concentrate at work and at home. So anyways, poor fella, I mean I told him not to go or he would pay the consequences. Yesterday his girlfriend had, had enough he done called her and said he wants to come home. Well since they impounded his car he had no way home. Mom, wasn't going to bail him. So, girlfriend went and got him. he's now home safe, he was severly dehydrated and very hungry. I guarantee this will be a trip he never forgets. On top of that, he can't afford to get his little car out, so he's lost his car.
Now today though I am peaceful again.... It's stressful to watch your child go through this, but I had to stay strong and fight the urge to bail him out. But I DID IT!!!!!
So this is the real reason I jumped off the wagon... :)

Wow. That's certainly enough stress to get anyone off the wagon. I have to commend your perserverance and capacity not to intervene. As a parent, I can only imagine what you dealt with this past weekend. I'm sure he learned a pretty invaluable lesson here...always listen to Mom.

I admire your strength. My mother told all of us kids that she would bail us out the first time after that it was our stupidity to get back there and our stupidity would keep us there. She also told my brother the black sheep of the family, you can be a rebel as long as you can afford it but it will cost you, your money, job, friends, family, and self respect. I guess I have always kept that with me. You and your family are in my prayers. God Bless

Gena, you did a good thing and your son will thank you later in life! He's 18 years old and knows what's right and wrong. You were right in what you did, and he had to figure everything out on his own. If this isn't motivation, I don't know what is. Just a suggestion...maybe have him join you in this little journey as sort of a bonding experience for the both of you. :)

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts, sometimes what doesn't feel so right, is really right. I'm sure he didn't "love" me when he was trying to get me to post his bail, and when I was allowing him to "starve". But today, he's appreciative and loves me, after the anger has gone.
So, today I'm on the wagon and press on! Thanks to all!

Pking, thank you, but I've actually had to laugh because he really had a tough week and just had to go through the experience. That's the best lesson.
