[QUOTE="judi, post: 256437, member: 148"] Its natural to play "what if." My son is one of the older ones, almost 24 now. He was in counselling from age 7 on, medications out the wazoo, too many counselors, expelled from regular school, and alternative school, went to jail a couple of times, was hospitalized multiple times, went to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) twice. And...what do we have now? Not much - we know (or think) he is still in IL but have had no contact with him since June 08. Yes, indeed I know all about "what if." My husband is the only one who understands that we grieve for what could have been and worry about him. I won't move or change my phone number for fear I will miss a call. Yet, I know he won't contact me. Please don't be too hard on yourself - we are all in the same boat and we all share the same pain. I'm sorry you had to join us but we do provide support for each other. [/QUOTE]
