[QUOTE="Fran, post: 9906, member: 3"] Cold! huh? where would one believe that of you. I remember the gut wrenching stories of what this child did to your grandmother's special things that you treasured. The children who needed to be out of their home for their own safety. The destruction and theft that was intentionally inflicted on you. Not husband but you. Those are just a few that are off the top of my head. You gave up more than any parent on this site. Bar none. Don't you ever say you are cold. Any of those that judge you as looking for an easier way are confused. They didn't walk your path and they have selective memory of what they thought and did. I didn't do as you did and I don't have a child that you have but I know that you did the best you could and I know and most of us know that you gave the ultimate sacrifice with your other children. I know I could not have done what you did. I think you sacrificed enough. You don't have to prove your sainthood to anyone. If he has not proven to be any different why would you allow him in your home. He has never worked a legal day in his life and has never honored or respected anything but the slick, easy way. Does that mean there is no hope? No way. I would think that you hope to see little changes so that you can nurture and help but he has shown nothing but talk so far. You are a teacher of children and you are used to difficult ones. You are not one to look for easy ways out. Love is not the answer but the driving force. We all know that is not enough. Do what allows you to be a whole person and not the prison guard. I support your decision. In your situation and with your son it is the only wise and non destructive way to go. [/QUOTE]
