[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 260511, member: 2315"] I whole heartedly agree with Janet. I do not see this as hopeless I see it as a chance for your GFGto change before he is an adult. I understand your fear and your pain. I have lived it also but I also know that there comes a time when we have to accept that we no longer have any control over our difficult child and his situation and that it is time to work on ourselves. I am concerned because you say that you have no hope for his future and that you believe he will never get out of the system etc. That kind of negativity will just eat you alive and serves no healthy purpose. You defeat yourself and your son if you do not leave a door open for change and a chance at a better life. It is now time to switch gears and work on yourself, get healthy, and try to find a new outlook on life. This way when your son gets out and is doing good you can have a new and better relationship with him. If he doesn't at least you will be in a better place. I am not trying to be mean or judgemental it is just an observation and a hope that you can let go of your need to try and control this situation. It is futile he is now in the hands of Department of Juvenile Justice there is no longer any hope for you to change this or control it. I hope that you can learn to accept that. I hope that you can find the strenght to do what you need to do to change yourself and your outlook. Please take care of yourself so that you can find some peace and future happiness. -RM [/QUOTE]
