[QUOTE="Star*, post: 113188, member: 4964"] WELL - I am glad to see that you got yourself some help = THAT is the VERY FIRST step to helping our children. It's not selfish, it shouldn't be embarrassing, it's a right - YOU have a right to be mentally well, and physically well. If you aren't either you have to ask yourself HOW can I be the best parent for my child. Okay on to the letters - You read between the lines and I have saved every letter my son ever wrote me. I read between the lines between the lines now. They are small steps in the right direction towards getting well, but he's manipulating you. He's describing his problems as little and small amounts of disrespect. Disrespect is disrespect. You can placate it - it is what it is. And he says right off - I'm thinking about when I get out of here. Well a goal to be sure, but that would say to me - I'm not thinking about tomorrow or today - I'm thinking about getting out of here. And unless you are used to being called Daddy - then that too can be manipulating - If you are then I understand because I'm Mom or Momma until I'm Mommy and when I'm Mommy - I'm on the defensive. lol Overall the fact that he wrote you a letter period - is good. Get yourself a folder and keep all of his letters in chronological order. They will help serve as a reminder of his progress, backsliding, and can be a great tool for YOUR psychologist to figure out what the relationship is between you and your son long distance. You really sound a lot less confounded since you've been coming here - that is a really good thing. Give yourself a pat on the back from me - Star [/QUOTE]
