[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 286714, member: 1514"] Oh stands. I so wish you could have been a fly on the wall inside my house the last 3 years of my life. Maybe then you could see why you just have to really just let your son go right now. Can I tell you about part of the conversation I had with Cory on the way home yesterday? I know it probably is somewhat confusing to you why I went and got him from jail but I didnt pay any money...it was all his money. I just had to go sign because I am his parent. Well Cory and I were talking about the changes he has made over the last year and how mad I was at him when he went into jail the last time and how I would have left him to rot in there then and how it was different this time. He was telling me that he knew that and even more important...he understood why I had felt that way and he didnt blame me one bit! He said he was so mad and upset with himself for acting that way. I asked him what was making him have these changes. He told me it was a lot of things. One thing was going to jail and me not letting him call me or go visit. Another thing was his really strict probation officer and then the last one was the real tear jerker. He said that the real thing that had brought him up short was that when I got so sick and almost died he realized that he had been a total jerk (used another word) to me and he almost lost me. He realized then he had to turn his life around because I could have died hating him and that would have been more than he could have lived with. I put my son out of my house when I fully hated his every fiber. I almost died with that hatred in me. But me putting him out and forcing him to grow up saved him. He is now able to do what he has to do even if that means he has to go serve time for whatever his misdeeds are. He isnt looking to me to save him. [/QUOTE]
