this week life continues to move WAY too quickly for me. Huge snowstorm yesterday morning, had to find childcare and make it to interview a job candidate for our department (even though the University was closed due to snow). The air was still heavy with the remnants of a fight my boyfriend and I had on wednesday and the make-up session we had on thursday.
my dad arrived for a visit thursday night. trying to balance all these things and then my daughter's father calls and freaks out for like an hour on the phone, and I remember how psychotic he is, and later I wonder why I still have this inability to hang up the phone.
This morning I get a phone call from J---'s mother who suspects that J--- may have taken money out of the bank and be in his car on the cross country to me.
then i take my daughter to play rehearsal, spent a hurried hour with the boyfriend, and take my daughter to a friend's house where I end up hanging out with a couple of 15-yr-old punk boys. boy, that brought back memories!

I got home to find the message that J--- has been found and subdued in some manner. I'm still waiting for details.

My brain is still full from the philosophical/political conversation I had with the idealistic young punk. Oh, if life could only seem so black and white as it once did.

don't give up... (Score:1)

I've only now found the time to catch up on the journals here. The life you live at the moment sounds a bit heavy indeed. It must be really really difficult for yu... I don't think anybody could judge you by being "supportive to an addict" as you've described it - since you only try to do what is best for him. How can you not be a friend when he is lying on the ground? Maybe it helps you to always tell yourself that he is ill. Gosh I have no experience at all with drug addicts... But with other ill people. Don't forget to set clear borders whereever possible - and also ask for help yourself if you don't know what to do anymore... don't lose hope on him!

truly feeling with you

...Are you still here? You haven't quietly, secretly left us, I hope?
