[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 191808, member: 1233"] Oh Steely, I hate that you are sick now. I know it happens when stress wears our bodies down, but I wish you didn't have to go through it. Please please please don't let the fact that your son is 17, or that others have gone through this keep you from posting here. Those are irrelevant. We love you. We CARE about how you feel. We want to be here for you. It must hurt terribly, not being able to see him. I haven't gone through it like this. I was always able to visit my son, even when I had him removed from the house. I wasn't emotionally capable of visiting him, but I knew that if I needed to I could. I forced myself to see him when he needed to see me, though it was very hard. I wish you could see him. Write letters to him, even if you can't send them, or don't hear back. If you think it would help you can do what my folks did when I went to college, and again when husband and I moved 400 miles away - they sent mail and packages. In college they knew me at the mail room because i had a package at least once a week. And my dad sent "brown mail" - a hershey bar in a regular envelope. No almonds in it - those got caught in the postal machines. But the plain ones got through. It helped him feel closer. Maybe you can send a phone card to Matt, so he can call? If there is a way we can help, just ask. With all the trauma you have gone through, it would be surprising if you didn't have times where you got confused about Matt and H. I am so sorry it happens, but it is natural, given the amount of trauma from both situations. I am sending may hugs, and prayers for you to feel better. Know that we all love you and are here at any time. [/QUOTE]
