[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 71627, member: 2389"] Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes! We need alot! Everytime my son got out of a placement he knew he was coming home. Everytime he came home we all fell right back into the same family dynamics. He was warned over and over by so many people that if he didn't change his ways he would end up in adult jail. I think he always thought I would rescue him and make everything alright. That is what I had always done. He couldn't believe my words but my actions have no made him see. I don't want you all to think that I think everything is rosey and all our troubles are behind us, that is not true at all. I know the hard part has not even begun yet. I am getting my much needed break from the heartache I have suffered. My empty cup is being refilled. I have peace now that what ever happens I will have the strength to endure it only because I have giving responsibilty to my son. and I have turned it over to God. If my son changes his life and devotes himself to helping others, it will be his choice he makes. If my son gets out and continues to abuse drugs and dig himself in a deeper hole, it will be his choice he makes. We all want to see our children happy and healthy. But, it is really their choice to make, not ours. After all that has happened in our family, I still am aware that the hardest part is yet to come. It is easy to stay detached now that he is in jail. I know where he is and that he is safe. When he is released and hopefully continues to go into a program and is ready to stand on his own two feet, that is when the detachment will be hard. Thank you all for the support!!!! I would not have made it thru these last years without you all sharing your wisdom. Traci [/QUOTE]
