[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 65596, member: 696"] Janet, don't be questioning what you have or haven't done for Cory. When there were problems you tried to solve them, when there were joys you celebrated. He's 21 now. He has a child, he's worked, he's experienced life as he wants it. Now he needs to experience life as the world sees and does it. I think one of the hardest things in life to do is to have your child arrested. The other is probably to bury him. Others have done that (Rita, Gottaloveem, etc). Life continues, one moves forward. If "shock" treatment is what's needed to shake up Cory's world and put him on the right path, then I guess that's the path he chose to go on. I don't think you all are totally closing the door on him at all. What you are doing is making him responsible for his actions. What would happen if you all were "gone"? would he start in on Jaime? There will be plenty of opportunities to help/assist him when he's finished with his "consequence". I too would hold off on visiting him and write letters instead. He can reread and reread them rather than an "interview" where he will be primed to try and sway your emotions. Hang tough. {{{{sunny hugs}}} [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
