judgment/criticism masquerading as concern/advice gives me cramps. You are not abandoning Flannery. You can't force him to go with you, nor should you try. I know it's hard to leave him there, I know what a challenge it can be to "accept the things you cannot change." I wish these people who twist that knife in you had the "wisdom to know the difference." You are honoring and respecting Flannery, not betraying him. I know you know that, and I know it doesn't always help to know it. I hope I haven't got on my high horse and been obnoxious but addiction is hard enough to deal with, without people's "concerns and advice." Love you.

The fact that you can move in with your life is a testament to your strength, courage, and sanity. You can always call me if he needs help. Not kidding.

like you are writing my heart. I just have to say over and over again... it's their story, not mine.
