Sweetie my son too was addict, almost died more time then I can count, he got in trouble spent 4 years in prison, and he has been drug free since he got out that was 19 years ago, be praying that will happen for your son too
You’re doing the right thing. He is making the choice to ruin his own life don’t allow him to ruin everyone else’s. That little boy is healthy and happy because of you. Y’all have the right to be happy don’t ever let your son take that away. Aidan and your other family members need you and they deserve your time now. Praying for you and family
We had to learn that we are not responsible for our adult children. So many families are struggling with a child or family member who is an addict. I will be lifting y'all and others on here up in prayer. Our child left rehab 5 months into a 12 month program and have no idea where they are. We can't and won't go through the whirlwind again either. And we have our grandbaby as well. I had to let go and let God. For peace in my heart. 🙌💞
Not sure how many others here have their grandchildren. I have had mine since she got out of the NICU addicted to heroine and other drugs. To say I was angry would be an understatement. We have since adopted her. She is amazing. The first year was alot. She had withdrawl for 8 months. If any of you have seen this you understand it is heartbreaking! Thank goodness for my grandparents raising grandkids group.
Prayers for you, I understand. I am in your shoes. I wrote a letter to the DA and had mine legally committed to a state program. Your not mean just sick n tired of being sick n tired. I have taken his time in has given me the time to take a step back. I have my 2 grandsons. It took me months to even communicate with him. He will be released in Nov and on probation for 7 years. Still nervous, but I have decided it's all on him.
One of my cousins is an addict. Growing up, she was so incredibly empathetic, kind, and intelligent. She was a very gifted writer, a deep thinker and feeler alike. As an addict, she is the opposite of this. She robbed our grandmother blind. Gma was so heartbroken, but refused to press charges. Cousin in prison now on different charges. I hope she is able to kick the habit and reflect on herself while there. Addiction destroys all that is good and lovely about a person, and for that alone it is the ultimate evil. My heart breaks for you, your family, and your son. I pray that with space and true consequences, he is able to break away from this dehumanizing monster, and finally emerge victorious. There is always hope. Sending my love.
My 43yo bro died of an od alone in a hotel room on 1/20/20. I didn’t know he even used a pain pill let alone crack, Heroin & fentanyl. Perfect life, job, wife, vacations. In the end my brother was not who I knew. They lie without a care, manipulate me, berate and make fun of our son his godson, horrified for our son. I still have deep rage towards him. Coward, took the easy way out & left us. I know addiction too. I never went to the streets. I believe in God however I’m 51.. wonder where he is. Is it nice I was supposed to go First
I hear you about how an addiction robs a person of that beautiful soul inside. It’s like they can’t access that part of themselves anymore. My baby brother robbed all of us blind and put his five little girls through an absolute soul crushing nightmare. His two baby girls just 3 and almost 5 found him passed away in their living room. It was a horrible scene I pray they are young enough to forget, but if they don’t, I don’t how they’re gonna live their whole lives with such horror in their little minds. Before all of that my hrother was a beautiful tender soul that would give anybody the shirt off his back and could always be counted in to help or just be there if you needed him. Addiction ran through our little tiny town and stole so many from my family. I never expected such a thing. I really thought we were safe from all of that big city stuff. Boy was I mistaken. This group here has balmed my heart so much because I know now that I’m truly not alone and that there are people who get it. Addiction is so incredibly shocking. I’ll never known if my brother was still in there somewhere, and it breaks my heart to know that his littlest babies never knew him at all before addiction made him a selfish jerk who made their little lives so awful. I’ll never be able to make them believe he was ever somebody else, and that hurts me so bad for them. This is the hardest journey I’ve ever walked. My prayers for everybody.
Aiden is a little doll! So glad you’ve had a chance to wrap your brain around things. I do pretty well most days with my son in jail and then on occasion I’ll have a difficult time. Love and prayers from Kentucky.
With those charges and already being on probation, they’re not gonna go light on him. You do sound and look so much better than the other day, I was so worried for you! I’ll be praying for you and the family that you all take care of each other and get through this storm!
Just passed my daughter on the street…slumped over, higher than a kite. With her drug friends…who were propping her up. I barely recognize her. Emaciated. Two years ago, a high functioning woman, two jobs, a great mom to my granddaughter, lots of plans, friends, and hope. Today, unrecognizable. After 22 years sober…here we go again.
@@sharongreen2163 God Bless You! I hate addition. I barely know my daughter and don’t recognize her as the woman she is today. We have dealt with 20 years of addition and it’s horrible. Thinking of you
@@SerenitywithLawna-MerryI'm so sorry. I'll pray for your daughter and your family. I also hate addiction. My brother in law passed 2 yrs ago from heroine fentanyl overdose right after he got out of rehab. And I have a son who is a recovering addict for 6 years now. It's so hard. It affects the whole entire family.
I enabled my drug addict son for years. I was actually crippling him and losing myself by taking all his consequences upon myself. Setting boundaries with him was the hardest, best thing I’ve ever done. Have I cried my eyes out for days at a time the last 10 years? Yes I have. I still know what I’m doing is right, for him and for me. We are currently estranged and it breaks my heart. But enabling him was killing me, and destroying my marriage. I choose me and my marriage and my sanity. And I’m so okay with that. ❤
Missy your channel popped up for me a few months back and I’ve been watching all of your videos and listening to your story. While I cannot relate personally, my heart breaks for what all you’ve been through. You’re an incredible Nanny and Aiden will look back in the future and be so grateful for the continuous love and support you have given him despite it all. I can’t imagine what he will become one day and the beautiful success story he will have from such a tough beginning. Diamonds are made under extreme pressure and he is proof of that! Prayers for your sweet family, you’re a very strong woman. 💗
My daughter died 3/17/24 of fentanyl. The last year she tried so hard to give it up. Now she is it peace. Fentanyl is not like other drugs. She has been clean over a year. She has 3 daughters. We miss her beautiful heart every day. I say this, love him. He doesn't want want to be that way.
I am so sorry your daughter didn’t make it through this awful thing. My little brother is the latest in a long line of others in my family who didn’t make it out of this mess of addiction. So many of my nieces and nephews have lost their parents and now three of my nieces are out in the world somewhere addicted and doing whatever they can just to get that next fix. This is such a painful journey. I’m so grateful to have a place now to come where people get it. My heart breaks for you and her daughters. I am so very sorry.
Shock bombs are such an accurate description. Anger and resentment follow. I can so relate. I’m glad that you’ve elected no communication. Keep doing so and stand your ground, because they suck you right back in. I know… 😭 But I also know the value of the miracle that happened after my son’s incarceration. 4 years clean now with Suboxen, and a productive human being again. I pray for your family. 🙏🙏
Your channel just popped up on my feed and I have been binge watching your videos. I am really sorry this is where you have ended up. Did I hear correctly on a previous video that you have been doing this with him for 14 years? Bless your heart. My mother was an addict and the things I saw messed me up for a good portion of my informative years. My grandparents really raised me until I was 13. No one is handed a book on addiction and told how to get the best outcome. You literally are flying by the seat of your pants holding on for dear life. This experience changed who I was at the very core. Relapse is part of recovery and I hope your son now will grasp it with both hands and figure out how to live life on life’s terms. I’ve added you to my prayers and I wish you God’s best!🙏🏻💜
@@FromtheHoller You don’t deserve this either, and it is hell. Please take this small reprieve and take care of yourself! Be kind to yourself and make sure you self care!💜🙏🏻
Not one addict wants to be an addict. They can always have the love from us, but we, have to take step back, it is one of the most difficult things I have ever dealt with. It hurts, it is taxing on you as the loving parent, or spouse, or other family member in the throws of trying to deal with and help the addict. I had to go to counseling, and to God. I had to let go and let God take control and have the strongest faith in him. It is harder than it sounds. I also had to be on anxiety meds for several years. Once I did the counseling and built my faith, I was able to get off. I am praying for you and your family as you keep going down this difficult path.
@reneegranger284 Once upon a time, I would have agreed with you. But I don't believe addicts are not to blame anymore. There is a moment in an addict's life of choice...do I drink, do I take this meth, do I do cocaine, fentanyl sounds like a blast, even a cigarette. But then chronic pain chose me and I saw addicts abusing, stealing, buying the medications I have so much trouble getting because addicts have made it a nightmare for me.Billions are spent attempting to save addicts...rehabs, counselling services, 12 step groups, suicide watch, etc but chronic pain patients have none of that. We are treated like criminals, accused of addiction when we carefully and responsibly use our medications. We try every other medication, but for most of us chosen by chronic pain, the only things that work are opiates. Boy, are we judged for it. I can feel compassion for addicts, but getting a high is never what I want or get from opiords.At 72, I have been on these medications without side affects for over 20 years but I have to justify, defend, beg for my medications from doctors who have been trained to dismiss, humiliate and abandon pain patients. While I know lots about addiction, the desperation, the mental pain, the hole inside, nothing prepared me for the agony of chronic pain, crying myself to sleep, withdrawal when denied my medications by some self righteous doctor telling me I am an addict, trying to care for sick family when my body is screaming with undertreated pain. I don't know what the answer is, but the medical neglect of chronic pain patients without the resources available to addicts is criminal.
You remind me of my Memaw, so I hope calling you that doesn't offend you. I want to share some hope with you. I used to struggle with addiction and faced numerous felony charges, similar to what your son is going through. Being arrested and losing my nursing license, along with damaging my relationship with my daughter, was the wake-up call I needed. I spent 7 months in jail and 15 months in a recovery program, which changed my life. That was eight years ago. Now, I have a wonderful relationship with my daughter and stepchildren, a happy marriage, renewed relationships, have paid all restitution, successfully completed probation, have a career, and am clean. Your decision to cut contact until he makes better choices is more helpful than you might realize. It might seem impossible right now, but as long as he is alive, there is still hope. Please let me know if I can support you in any way. Much love.
Missy you look and sound so much better.i have never had to deal with anything related to this but I am so sympathetic with you and family. Love that little boy and hope he will recover unscaved. He is precious. It will be hard to take but you seem like you are reconciled to the fact that prison is coming and maybe that’s best for Joseph you and family. Missy you are a strong woman but you can only take so much. Love ya ❤
You look and sound so much better . Aiden is a little trooper with that cherky smile. Enjoy the break - you all deserve it so much. Sending healing thoughts 💕
Good afternoon Missy, You can call the other County ask for Probation Department tell them why your calling. Don't count on them just finding out he is in jail.
Prayer for you dear. I gear your pain. I haye addiction also.where i live we have addicts abd i try to never judge but they creat havoc....seeems like anytime u give them emoathy they just keep lying
Wow. What a difference a few days have made. It is so wonderful to see you calm and collected. I really thought you were going to lose it, for sure. The three of you have a wonderful trip and enjoy.
Missy I have been praying more then usual. I am so glad you are doing better. I was so worried. Please take care of your self. Getting away sounds great. Hope you have a good time and think on other things. Love you Missy❤ keeping you in my prayers.😊
Have faith. They r not going to let your son out of prison. These r serious charges... The only way he will get clean is if they keep him in jail. I'm watching 1 of your prior videos with him. Interested to see his interactions. The 12 step programs warn addiction will likely end up in jails, institutions or death!
Missy I was so worried about you 😥 It is so good to see you here again! Whatever happens to him in "on him" not you or your family. Really good you are taking a break, Just one night away can make so much difference. I sent you a few emails with stuff, and when you get to them you get to them ok? Love you lady! 😘 ♥
I can see from the comments that unfortunately many of us have been surrounded by addiction. My brother was an addict for many many years and we almost lost him to overdose so many times. I'm thankful he has been sober for over 7 years but as you probably know that is not promised to us forever. I still have nightmares about what we went through. We are here for you and I open my arms and give you and Aiden a great big bear hug. I think a get away is a fantastic idea and I hope you feel relaxed and free if only for a moment. Lots of love to you and your family!💌
Hi There! I am happy to see you are doing better. I think just knowing our kids are safe where they are helps. Enjoy your getaway, listen to the birds, the crickets, watch the fireflies, feel the breeze and the rain. You are still here, still human and will get thru this. Sending you love from the north in Pa. ❤❤❤
You go girl. Time to stop him messing. Up your lives and the baby's life. You already know you can't help him. Maby far into the future. It's all on him now. My whole family has been through this. Lost one grandson last year. The other grandson seems to be doing well at this time. We pray to God this will continue.
I'm praying for you and your son. I wrote you several weeks ago warning you of the ketamine treatment he was being given at that time. As I told you in the last text I had a 33 year addiction to opiates. I just celebrated 7 years clean. God had to remove all my enablers so I could assume all my consequences. This saved my soul. I so admire your courage to practice tough love. I know that it is not easy. Stay in the Word of God because this is where your strength is. Christ tells us that my strength is made perfect in weakness. God bless you and your family. STAY STRONG!!!
Hang in there Sweetie ...Tou will get through this...And we are here to give you the support you will need ...Enjoy your time away...Make some good memories with that grandson of your ...You are go to be ok...No matter what happens to your son ...Hopefully this will be the wake up call he needs to finally straighten his life out ...Thats what im praying for him....Prayers n hugs to you and your family ...Give that grandson a little extra love n hugs from all of us....Enjoy your time away...🙏🫂🙏🫂
So sorry y'all are going so much I am praying for y'all my heart goes out to y'all my niece was on drugs so I know what your going through but she has been drug free for 5 years PRAISE GOD Love y'all
In my humble opinion Aiden should not be exposed to this..All your energy should go into that little boy. As long as you are involved in your son’s life ,Aiden will be absorbing that negative energy.No child should have to deal with adult issues no matter how you present it to him.Make a clean break,Missy and “let go and let God.”
I'm not going to lie to him about his dad, whether it's good or bad. We've been working with a therapist for several years now and she and I made the decisions necessary. He's a very smart child. He figures this stuff out and if I lie to him how does that make me look in his eyes?! Plus I want him to see that Nanny tried with his dad. How would he look at me if I didnt?! It's a great perception that kids should be sheltered, and to some degree he is, but it can also do so much more damage to them if you lie constantly. So, no, I won't be lying to this child. I'll be involved in my son's life to an extent simply because he's still my child and if something was to happen to him I want him to know Mama always loved him and fought for him. His son needs to see, hear and feel that also.
Acorrding to what is happening with they guys around here- he will probably get out with ankle bracelet- due to it being non-violent crime. Seems like around here they do not keep in jail due to over crowded jails. At least while they wait for court date. Glad you are feeling better! Please prayers for my daughter- she did her assessment today and sent me pics of being there. But she has to wait a week to get into rehab. Pray she stays in mindset to get well! It is her son's birthday tommorrow and her birthday the next day.
Don’t make Bond cause it’s a waste of money. They will put a blue warrant on him in a few days and a hold , after he is done with court they will transfer him to the county he is on probation with. God Bless ❤🙏
I'm glad to see you stronger and calmer since the last video, Missy. And Aiden always brightens the mood when he suddenly shows up✨. I include you in my daily prayers, since you are in this difficult situation. I hope everything turns out well for you.🌸🌸
Love and prayers for all of you. I hope you all get to relax and have a little fun away from it all for a minute. When we need to get away from it all for just a bit, we go to a campground that’s just ten minutes down the road, but it feels like a million miles away. That way one of us can just come home a few times a day, and take care of the critters that can’t go with us, ( one dog is ferocious and is not welcome at the campground and won’t let anyone come in to take care of her) make sure the house is okay and water the garden. We also go to a motel just a few minutes away that has a pool. It helps just to get that little break we all need to breathe and not think constantly of what’s gonna happen next. Loving an addict is exhausting. Missy, you drew this beautiful community in with your beautiful heart that just radiates the love inside of you. You did that. You are so good hearted, and sometimes you just gotta let yourself be proud of that. Just like none of this is Auden’s fault, none of this is your fault either. None of you asked for this pain. I’m so sorry you have it. So many of us here truly get it because we have it too. You have found your tribe and we love you all. I feel the love here mightily, and I hope everybody who needs it does too. Be well & take care. Prayers for everybody.
Your doing your best momma bear if your behind it’s ok we can handle it. You do you and we are hear for you!!!! Have a great day taking time for your selves and getting your selves healthier. Love you all
So glad you are feeling better!! You are a wonderful,strong momma and grandmom. May God bless you and your family!! Aiden is so cute. Bless y’all’s heart and prayers that your son will get the help he needs. Maybe time in jail will be the eye opener he needs??Pray so. 💝💙🙏
Addiction hurts so many children. I have a 2 year great niece her mother is an addict how could someone likes drugs more than they love their child I know it happens everyday. My prayers for addicts that they find there way back to being drug free. God bless you and your family ❤
Its good you're getting away. You do sound better today. And the thing is you know he wasn't raised that way. I think that is the hardest part. And I can tell from experience. That phone is going to start ringing mine did 2 or 3 times a day. It was the hardest thing I think I've ever done was not answer it. Here they can call collect and you hear their voice. Missy go have a wonderful time and just breath.
wow Sorry to hear About your sons Drug Addiction that could Ruin A Family And A Married couples future to i hate to see that it will lead to Abuse And Emotionally Stress for a Wife i,m not a Drug or Alcholo addict i,m clean and Healthy man from Ohio i realize this is not a Dating site but if there is A Wife who wants to leave that situation i,m here if your in or close to Ohio
I think the child should talk to his father because that really would help him. He don’t need to be missing his father. He already know how his father is and he still need his father love
Hope is NOT a strategy. You can contact the county clerk and get the judge to get involved and have them throw the book at him in all counties so he can at least get clean in jail. That is your best hope if you really want him clean.
I think the child should talk to his father because that really would help him. He don’t need to be missing his father. He already know how his father is and he still need his father love I know you are trying to protect the child, but I think he really do need to speak with his father. Don’t take that away from him.
This is really something i think you should not put on utube,it his personal issues,not yours to put out into the world,i know my kids would be appalled if i did t his
Your opinion means zero to me. It's clear you've never been through this and I pray you never do. You see, I'm the mom here. My kids don't rule me. Lead by example and if you don't like my videos and my topics, guess what...you don't have to watch them. Be an adult and scroll on. You don't have to comment negatively on everything. Have the day you deserve!
Love and prayers for all of you. I hope you all get to relax and have a little fun away from it all for a minute.

You’re doing the right thing. He is making the choice to ruin his own life don’t allow him to ruin everyone else’s. That little boy is healthy and happy because of you.

@@Freddybender123 My love and prayers are with you for your daughter’s safe return.
Enjoy your little getaway! Well deserved. Safe travels to you. 😊
Shock bombs are such an accurate description. Anger and resentment follow. I can so relate. I’m glad that you’ve elected no communication. Keep doing so and stand your ground, because they suck you right back in. I know… 😭 But I also know the value of the miracle that happened after my son’s incarceration. 4 years clean now with Suboxen, and a productive human being again. I pray for your family. 🙏🙏
No negativity or judgment here please 🙏 💜
Your channel just popped up on my feed and I have been binge watching your videos. I am really sorry this is where you have ended up. Did I hear correctly on a previous video that you have been doing this with him for 14 years? Bless your heart. My mother was an addict and the things I saw messed me up for a good portion of my informative years. My grandparents really raised me until I was 13. No one is handed a book on addiction and told how to get the best outcome. You literally are flying by the seat of your pants holding on for dear life. This experience changed who I was at the very core. Relapse is part of recovery and I hope your son now will grasp it with both hands and figure out how to live life on life’s terms. I’ve added you to my prayers and I wish you God’s best!🙏🏻💜
I'm sorry you had to go through that. No child deserves any of this hell 💔😢 Yes, we've been dealing with this for close to 15 years with our son.
@@FromtheHoller You don’t deserve this either, and it is hell. Please take this small reprieve and take care of yourself! Be kind to yourself and make sure you self care!💜🙏🏻
Not one addict wants to be an addict. They can always have the love from us, but we, have to take step back, it is one of the most difficult things I have ever dealt with. It hurts, it is taxing on you as the loving parent, or spouse, or other family member in the throws of trying to deal with and help the addict. I had to go to counseling, and to God. I had to let go and let God take control and have the strongest faith in him. It is harder than it sounds. I also had to be on anxiety meds for several years. Once I did the counseling and built my faith, I was able to get off. I am praying for you and your family as you keep going down this difficult path.
@reneegranger284 Once upon a time, I would have agreed with you. But I don't believe addicts are not to blame anymore. There is a moment in an addict's life of choice...do I drink, do I take this meth, do I do cocaine, fentanyl sounds like a blast, even a cigarette. But then chronic pain chose me and I saw addicts abusing, stealing, buying the medications I have so much trouble getting because addicts have made it a nightmare for me.Billions are spent attempting to save addicts...rehabs, counselling services, 12 step groups, suicide watch, etc but chronic pain patients have none of that. We are treated like criminals, accused of addiction when we carefully and responsibly use our medications. We try every other medication, but for most of us chosen by chronic pain, the only things that work are opiates. Boy, are we judged for it. I can feel compassion for addicts, but getting a high is never what I want or get from opiords.At 72, I have been on these medications without side affects for over 20 years but I have to justify, defend, beg for my medications from doctors who have been trained to dismiss, humiliate and abandon pain patients. While I know lots about addiction, the desperation, the mental pain, the hole inside, nothing prepared me for the agony of chronic pain, crying myself to sleep, withdrawal when denied my medications by some self righteous doctor telling me I am an addict, trying to care for sick family when my body is screaming with undertreated pain. I don't know what the answer is, but the medical neglect of chronic pain patients without the resources available to addicts is criminal.
@kalayne6713 the government removed so much of the help thst was available. There was a reason the government did that, to control the people
Please enjoy your day of rest. Continued prayers of love, strength and healing…..🙏🏼❤️🕊️
You remind me of my Memaw, so I hope calling you that doesn't offend you. I want to share some hope with you. I used to struggle with addiction and faced numerous felony charges, similar to what your son is going through. Being arrested and losing my nursing license, along with damaging my relationship with my daughter, was the wake-up call I needed. I spent 7 months in jail and 15 months in a recovery program, which changed my life. That was eight years ago. Now, I have a wonderful relationship with my daughter and stepchildren, a happy marriage, renewed relationships, have paid all restitution, successfully completed probation, have a career, and am clean. Your decision to cut contact until he makes better choices is more helpful than you might realize. It might seem impossible right now, but as long as he is alive, there is still hope. Please let me know if I can support you in any way. Much love.
You can call me Memaw all day long if you'd like 😁💜
Missy you look and sound so much better.i have never had to deal with anything related to this but I am so sympathetic with you and family.
Love that little boy and hope he will recover unscaved. He is precious.
It will be hard to take but you seem like you are reconciled to the fact that prison is coming and maybe that’s best for Joseph you and family.
Missy you are a strong woman but you can only take so much. Love ya ❤
You look and sound so much better . Aiden is a little trooper with that cherky smile. Enjoy the break - you all deserve it so much. Sending healing thoughts 💕
Good afternoon Missy, You can call the other County ask for Probation Department tell them why your calling. Don't count on them just finding out he is in jail.
@karenandrew5467 already taken care of 😘
Prayer for you dear. I gear your pain. I haye addiction also.where i live we have addicts abd i try to never judge but they creat havoc....seeems like anytime u give them emoathy they just keep lying
I agree No Contact
U are doing better
Wow. What a difference a few days have made. It is so wonderful to see you calm and collected. I really thought you were going to lose it, for sure. The three of you have a wonderful trip and enjoy.
Missy I have been praying more then usual. I am so glad you are doing better. I was so worried. Please take care of your self. Getting away sounds great. Hope you have a good time and think on other things. Love you Missy❤ keeping you in my prayers.😊
Love you 💜
I'm out and running errands, but I am thinking about you, and praying. Bless everyone! 😇🙏
Just let your grandchild, his dad is making really bad decisions, but.
My goodness he’s a cutie ❤
Hello from Australia ❤
God bless you as I understand as going through similar experience at the moment. It turns you inside out. ❤️❤❤Xxx
Enjoy your mini break lovely lady. ❤xx
Have faith. They r not going to let your son out of prison. These r serious charges...
The only way he will get clean is if they keep him in jail.
I'm watching 1 of your prior videos with him. Interested to see his interactions.
The 12 step programs warn addiction will likely end up in jails, institutions or death!
I'm so glad to see you're in better spirits! Getting away will be good for you and your family! Keep on keeping on!
Missy I was so worried about you 😥 It is so good to see you here again! Whatever happens to him in "on him" not you or your family. Really good you are taking a break, Just one night away can make so much difference. I sent you a few emails with stuff, and when you get to them you get to them ok? Love you lady! 😘 ♥
Love you 💜 Hopefully I'll get the time to sit down and go through emails soon
I can see from the comments that unfortunately many of us have been surrounded by addiction. My brother was an addict for many many years and we almost lost him to overdose so many times. I'm thankful he has been sober for over 7 years but as you probably know that is not promised to us forever. I still have nightmares about what we went through. We are here for you and I open my arms and give you and Aiden a great big bear hug. I think a get away is a fantastic idea and I hope you feel relaxed and free if only for a moment. Lots of love to you and your family!💌
Hi There! I am happy to see you are doing better. I think just knowing our kids are safe where they are helps. Enjoy your getaway, listen to the birds, the crickets, watch the fireflies, feel the breeze and the rain. You are still here, still human and will get thru this. Sending you love from the north in Pa. ❤❤❤
💜💜💜
Enjoy your little getaway !! Well deserved for you and pap and Aiden !
Continued prayers and have a great little getaway. God bless 🥰
You go girl. Time to stop him messing. Up your lives and the baby's life. You already know you can't help him. Maby far into the future. It's all on him now. My whole family has been through this. Lost one grandson last year. The other grandson seems to be doing well at this time. We pray to God this will continue.
He’s not dumb, them kids know more than we could ever imagine. Just make sure he knows it’s not his fault and he’s loved! That’s all you can do!
I remember the feeling more than the “knowing” when I was little.
I could tell something was happening.
I'm praying for you and your son. I wrote you several weeks ago warning you of the ketamine treatment he was being given at that time. As I told you in the last text I had a 33 year addiction to opiates. I just celebrated 7 years clean. God had to remove all my enablers so I could assume all my consequences. This saved my soul. I so admire your courage to practice tough love. I know that it is not easy. Stay in the Word of God because this is where your strength is. Christ tells us that my strength is made perfect in weakness. God bless you and your family. STAY STRONG!!!
Still praying for you and your family. I'm glad you're doing better. A little break is just what you need. Have a great time!
Hang in there Sweetie ...Tou will get through this...And we are here to give you the support you will need ...Enjoy your time away...Make some good memories with that grandson of your ...You are go to be ok...No matter what happens to your son ...Hopefully this will be the wake up call he needs to finally straighten his life out ...Thats what im praying for him....Prayers n hugs to you and your family ...Give that grandson a little extra love n hugs from all of us....Enjoy your time away...🙏🫂🙏🫂
God Bless you
Tell Aiden to never stop dancing!
What a sweety.ALL THE BEST
So sorry y'all are going so much I am praying for y'all my heart goes out to y'all my niece was on drugs so I know what your going through but she has been drug free for 5 years PRAISE GOD Love y'all
In my humble opinion Aiden should not be exposed to this..All your energy should go into that little boy. As long as you are involved in your son’s life ,Aiden will be absorbing that negative energy.No child should have to deal with adult issues no matter how you present it to him.Make a clean break,Missy and “let go and let God.”
I'm not going to lie to him about his dad, whether it's good or bad. We've been working with a therapist for several years now and she and I made the decisions necessary. He's a very smart child. He figures this stuff out and if I lie to him how does that make me look in his eyes?! Plus I want him to see that Nanny tried with his dad. How would he look at me if I didnt?! It's a great perception that kids should be sheltered, and to some degree he is, but it can also do so much more damage to them if you lie constantly. So, no, I won't be lying to this child. I'll be involved in my son's life to an extent simply because he's still my child and if something was to happen to him I want him to know Mama always loved him and fought for him. His son needs to see, hear and feel that also.
🫶 Sending Mama hugs! Thank you for the update. Enjoy your time out! See you sunday🎉
🙏 and ❤ for you and family.
Acorrding to what is happening with they guys around here- he will probably get out with ankle bracelet- due to it being non-violent crime. Seems like around here they do not keep in jail due to over crowded jails. At least while they wait for court date. Glad you are feeling better! Please prayers for my daughter- she did her assessment today and sent me pics of being there. But she has to wait a week to get into rehab. Pray she stays in mindset to get well! It is her son's birthday tommorrow and her birthday the next day.
Also going away for a few days this weekend! Which is good since our main water line broke and we have no water for 2 days now.
Hope all ok. This is PopcornBoxing by the way I changed my name.
My nephew was in prison fora year he still got drugs in there
Glad to see you're on your way to some inner peace. One thing at a time, one day at a time.
Take care of yourself prayers for all love ya ❤❤❤
Have a blessed trip ✝️🙏🏽❤️
❤❤❤
And we are in awe of you Mama ❤️
Hope y'all have a good time away 🙏🥰
Oh aiden aiden aiden
So glad he has the both of you❤
Absolutely 💯 It will mean all the difference in the long run for him ❤
Don’t make Bond cause it’s a waste of money. They will put a blue warrant on him in a few days and a hold , after he is done with court they will transfer him to the county he is on probation with. God Bless ❤🙏
I'm glad to see you stronger and calmer since the last video, Missy. And Aiden always brightens the mood when he suddenly shows up✨. I include you in my daily prayers, since you are in this difficult situation. I hope everything turns out well for you.🌸🌸
Enjoy yourself and try to relax
Love and prayers for all of you. I hope you all get to relax and have a little fun away from it all for a minute. When we need to get away from it all for just a bit, we go to a campground that’s just ten minutes down the road, but it feels like a million miles away. That way one of us can just come home a few times a day, and take care of the critters that can’t go with us, ( one dog is ferocious and is not welcome at the campground and won’t let anyone come in to take care of her) make sure the house is okay and water the garden. We also go to a motel just a few minutes away that has a pool. It helps just to get that little break we all need to breathe and not think constantly of what’s gonna happen next. Loving an addict is exhausting. Missy, you drew this beautiful community in with your beautiful heart that just radiates the love inside of you. You did that. You are so good hearted, and sometimes you just gotta let yourself be proud of that. Just like none of this is Auden’s fault, none of this is your fault either. None of you asked for this pain. I’m so sorry you have it. So many of us here truly get it because we have it too. You have found your tribe and we love you all. I feel the love here mightily, and I hope everybody who needs it does too. Be well & take care. Prayers for everybody.
Enjoy your fun day away . Much love ❤️ to you.
💜💜💜
Thanks for the update sweetie,,,worried about u
I'm much better than I was 💜
Sending love❤
Absolutely...Aiden is the most important one.
100%

You are doing right by Aiden amazingly well.
Good validation Missy
I hope y'all go and are able to relax and breathe for your short time away. I am praying for all of you.
So glad you are feeling better!! You are a wonderful,strong momma and grandmom. May God bless you and your family!! Aiden is so cute. Bless y’all’s heart and prayers that your son will get the help he needs. Maybe time in jail will be the eye opener he needs??Pray so. 💝💙🙏
Missy, enjoy your mini getaway, get some sleep and love on Adian....you need a moments peace ❤
Addiction hurts so many children. I have a 2 year great niece her mother is an addict how could someone likes drugs more than they love their child I know it happens everyday. My prayers for addicts that they find there way back to being drug free. God bless you and your family ❤
May rest come while you’re away. Breathe.
I hate drugs too!!!
Its good you're getting away. You do sound better today. And the thing is you know he wasn't raised that way. I
think that is the hardest part. And I can tell from experience. That phone is going to start ringing mine did 2 or 3 times a day. It was the hardest thing I
think I've ever done was not answer it. Here they can call collect and you hear their voice. Missy go have a wonderful time and just breath.
August 1 is next Thursday.
Missy sent the rain your way ❤
Never a thanks needed
I gotcha friend
wow Sorry to hear About your sons Drug Addiction that could Ruin A Family And A Married couples future to i hate to see that it will lead to Abuse And Emotionally Stress for a Wife i,m not a Drug or Alcholo addict i,m clean and Healthy man from Ohio i realize this is not a Dating site but if there is A Wife who wants to leave that situation i,m here if your in or close to Ohio
👍
@@FromtheHoller If I said anything to upset you i,m Sorry
I think the child should talk to his father because that really would help him. He don’t need to be missing his father. He already know how his father is and he still need his father love
Hope is NOT a strategy. You can contact the county clerk and get the judge to get involved and have them throw the book at him in all counties so he can at least get clean in jail. That is your best hope if you really want him clean.
I think the child should talk to his father because that really would help him. He don’t need to be missing his father. He already know how his father is and he still need his father love
I know you are trying to protect the child, but I think he really do need to speak with his father. Don’t take that away from him.
This is really something i think you should not put on utube,it his personal issues,not yours to put out into the world,i know my kids would be appalled if i did t his
Your opinion means zero to me. It's clear you've never been through this and I pray you never do. You see, I'm the mom here. My kids don't rule me. Lead by example and if you don't like my videos and my topics, guess what...you don't have to watch them. Be an adult and scroll on. You don't have to comment negatively on everything. Have the day you deserve!
Sounds to me that his wife is an enabler/possible co-defendant, keep your distance.
