*** Another One of my Weird Questions***

[NautyOne]

I have always been fascinated with this question.  It's very difficult, and I hope nobody takes offense to it in any way, but here it goes........

I you were in the middle of the ocean and your boat was sinking......it's you, your spouse and your mother and you could only save one.......who would you save?  If it were your Mother or your child......who would you let drown.....I know this is morbid or freaky, but I could never get the answer from my husband.......its not an easy question....for some it may be, but for others???????  I'm not sure if I can even answer it........very curious on how many can answer this.......and, it just may be ugly and unfair, but as i said......i am fascinated by anyone who can answer it......

I guess I would say I would not go out in the middle of the ocean in a BOAT. I would think a ship to be much more the vessel to use for that so lets stay outta the ocean with boats cause they sink fast there.... LOL

NG...we all have "reasons" as to what gives us that little shove into using I think. It is not a choice always, I personally think life circumstances, family, etc. have something to "help" get us to that point, yews we make our own decisions but I would not have CHOSE to be an addict, I never grew up saying this is what I wanted in life!!

That is why we all have to examine our "triggers"....for some its life, emotions, etc....while for others it is the high......but we all have them.

This information might have a bit of insight as to what/why I'm an addict and why I would use her as a floatation device:

This weekend I spent time with my folks for Father's Day. I don't remember why the topic came up...but Leona Helmsey was mentioned.
She was my mothers hero! I had forgotten all about that.! Now, when I say hero, I mean it. She loved her! Loved her philosophy's, her work ethic, her money and success, such as it was...Loved her. Stood behind her. Imagine that. I sit back and watch my mother and she's the same way.

Now in my 40's when we self examine how we got to where we are and why we do things we do or think the way we do...This type of thinking and expectations from my mother are a huge trigger and explain a lot of what I am getting rid of. I know, I know, I am the captain of my own ship now and make my own decissions, but at least this is a puzzle piece for me.
I'm praddling...sorry. Just a little insight as to 'floatation device' choices...

Now I'll go paddle instead of praddle..

Good question NaughtyOne!! If it were my Mom or my son I would give my lefe jacket to one of them and go down with the boat. I couldn't decide between the two.
