[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 588507, member: 13542"] JKF, it helps me with these kinds of big decisions to think that nothing is forever.......if the choice you make doesn't work, you can start over, after all, you're an expert at this, you know how to do it all, not only in your own environment, but long distance too. So, whatever choice you make, you can re make it if it doesn't work. Just pretend you're back in childhood, remember do-overs? Who said we couldn't continue with do-overs as adults?! So, he goes to Idaho, doesn't work, you call a do-over. He stays where he is, doesn't work, you call a do-over. Life is a long series of do-overs, we just got too old and forgot we could do that. Whatever you do, it will be okay and if it isn't you can [B]totally trust[/B] that you either already know how to handle it or you will put on your well worn, somewhat dented Warrior Mom armor and you will do battle with the powers that be until you get what you want. Good Grief, we've all witnessed you do that this past week, I'd hate to be in your way if you come storming in looking for aid for your son!! You are a force of nature JKF, as we Mom's can be when our offspring are in need of something. Laws get changed, people are fired, folks go to prison, Mom's of difficult child's are incredibly courageous and powerful and just a tad intimidating when we are in our full glory. Do what feels right and rest in the knowledge that if that path closes down, you will find a way or create a way. If he goes to Idaho, tell him he is going on an adventure, going west like the early settlers did, give him a cell so he can call you if he gets scared, give him a talisman to hold close, something that means something to him..........it seems you're leaning in that direction.
