Dear Emily:

I understand your need to relax and shut down your thoughts for the night and using weed to get what you need. I wish that it didn’t get you in trouble with your landlord, too bad that it did.

“Good news I work a full-time job and all my bills are paid” – you are a responsible person and a responsible mother!

“I’m working on a better feeling future. I’m in the process of fixing everything that I can think of . Growing up I used to say I wanted to be HAPPY because it was the opposite of SAD but now, I want to feel satisfied and fulfilled within myself“- it’s beautiful to read this, worded so very well, so much so that I wanted to repeat it here in boldface.

“Sometimes I think I’m doing really good besides the fact that I still don’t have much of a social life“- we all need some social life but it is not easy to find and develop healthy friendships. I guess having decent, friendly acquaintances is a good start.

“I’m thinking of something like number painting and a pet weed is not a healthy hobby I’m desperate and don’t want to get bored and depressed“- I don’t want you to get bored and depressed! Number painting sounds good. What is “a pet weed” exactly?
