The hardest and best thing I ever done for my son is let him serve time and take accountability for things he done..agree with you 100%. I cried, my mothers heart wanted to rescue but let it happen. He is 2 yrs on a job, clean, paying his bills, reconciled with me and his Dad, who pressed 🙏

Omg!!! She's not getting meds. Cindy needs to stop the enabling...let her bounce off the rocks at that bottom. I really wish Cindy would love and focus on herself. I'm 10 years sober. I put my parents through hell. Stop helping her with ANYTHING!!!! She is lying!!!

I would imagine Cindy is fully aware Stephanie uses her. I would like to add Wendy’s ungrateful son cut her off. That wasn’t Wendy’s choice or doing.

My granddaughter says the same thing! She had no interest! Lol! Wendy, it’s not your fault! You did what you thought would help her at the time. I made the same mistake. We did it because we love them deeply, and we didn’t want to see them hurt. We thought we were helping them at the time. We learn by our mistakes! ❤️❤️❤️

As the mother of an addict son who will be 35 and also raising his son who just turned 14 and have had custody since he was 6 months old I completely understand the CONSTANT roller coaster! I understand Cindy’s frustration and situation also! It is the hardest thing to navigate your roles as mother to your child and mother to your grandchildren! It’s even harder to love an addict with your head and not your HEART! I am 59 years old and am now in my 4th month of numerous tries at sobriety with him. I’m in the holding my breath phase again and as usual hoping it sticks this TIME! Last time lasted 5 years! You find yourself in a very false sense of security and then you start noticing the spiraling pattern beginning…. I know what ya’ll are going through and the sleepless nights and all the judgement from others if you even dare to do anything for your addict child as a mother! Many of the stories Cindy tells are a mirror of mine and unfortunately AA says one day at a time when the reality is the mothers are also living one day at a time, one minute at a time watching and waiting for the next disaster or the next phone call. I continue to send you strength and understanding and hopefully we can all continue to stand our ground with our addict children and hold hard to our boundaries. ❤️❤️

I'm so sorry. It's also absolutely true about kids. My one is wonderful. The other doesn't appreciate a darn thing. Never a thank you for anything. Very frustrating.

Praying for you all Wendy! Having an addict in the family is one of the toughest to deal with. You’re always on your toes wondering what is going to happen next! At the time, you thought you were doing the right thing! Sending hugs, love, and prayers!

I'm so sorry I know how much Cindy wants this for Steph but Steph has to want it for herself and all these stories and stuff happening makes me wonder if she's just using her again to get what she wants $$ praying I'm wrong ( I was raised by addicts and was one been sober 10 years so I've seen all the games unfortunately)

I’ve watched you and Cindy over the years. I never thought you would be able to break ties with your son, but you did because it was best for you if we could only get Cindy to understand that Stephanie is using her I know she loves her. We all dobut damn there comes a time when you have a break ties.
