[QUOTE="DDD, post: 260328, member: 35"] I think that you are a bit like me. It is important for me "to know" what I have to face in order for me to face it with-o fear and trepidation. Earlier I rather hinted that the short term indicated for his incarceration did not make sense to me since he was being processed. You have my sympathy because I do know how discombobulating it is to deal with vague deadlines and adjusting fears for your child. I am sincere. on the other hand, although I think you are right to contact the PD, you have got to "let go..let God" or whatever your equavilent may be. IF your child is going to be there for three years then you have to look at the positive side. He will be getting educated. He will be safe. He will be fed. It sounds like he may get mental health assistance. Those are all positive things for him to build toward a healthier future. Furthermore, you no longer will have to worry that "they" will be forcing you to make personal change pronto........with the threat of placement with your bro causing you nightmares. Let him float with the system. It is important that he understands that "the system" is in control because he made poor choices...NOT because you did anything wrong. The only thing he needs to understand is that you are his Mom, you are not perfect, you have tried your very best and now..he needs to do his very best to secure a positive future. If you have one year or two years or three years to rebuilt your life and get healthy again then you'll have to use it to improve. Try not to do the rollercoaster ride with each piece of correspondence or each phone call or each recollection. Think positively and hope for a healthy future. DDD [/QUOTE]
