[QUOTE="Star*, post: 368538, member: 4964"] Pony - Somedays - I have such a hard time understanding the road of heartache and tragedies that our kids seem to take repeatedly - As a Mother? Some nights I just stare blankly up at the sky and think - Is it really for some bigger purpose, or so that someday he'll be a better person, understand more, be stronger, wiser, the most been there done that kind of man ever? Or is all this just some horrific punishment from a past life I can't remember? Then I think - My God what must I have done to deserve being the Mother of this? Exhale, get up, go in the house, pet the dog and know at least one of my 'kids' behaves well. I hope -as with all my board nieces and nephews that every bad event that happens in their lives is a tool that pushes them further away eventually from being the kids most people think they are. (Present company excluded, of course - to know one is to have one) Every time that something happened in my own sons life I would naturally get that sick feeling, and counter-balance it with thinking "This eventually will sink in and teach him something." Jail isn't the worst place they can be. It's an awful place no doubt. Few parents wake up in the morning thinking "Wow i hope my kid is in jail today."
