POAs spend a lot of their time waiting. Waiting for our addicted son or daughter to get home, waiting for the phone to ring, waiting for the next arrest, waiting to for the next shoe to drop, waiting....waiting....waiting.
I thought about this as I was waiting for my son to get off work because I offered to take him to sign a lease on his new apartment. Then I had to wait on him at the bank. Now I am waiting to see what happens next.
I feel like I have relapsed. My husband told our son that we would pay his deposit for the apartment. Then we decided together that we would help him by adding our name to his application for the apartment and for the utilities because there is no way he could be approved for the lease and he walked out on his utilities 2 years ago before he went to rehab. Now, I am feeling anxious. Anxious that my son won't keep his end of the bargain and we will be stuck with the remainder of the lease. I am kicking myself right now for agreeing to do that.
On the other hand. Maybe, just maybe........
Until I know, I'll just have to wait.
