[QUOTE="Star*, post: 519187, member: 4964"] Beth, I read your post a 1/2 dozen times. Then I just sat here trying to figure out what I [I]really[/I] wanted to say. I can tell you for certain my heart aches for you, and for the sleepless nights, the long days, the moments you cried in the middle of the day wishing for just a normal life, a 1/2 normal day, feeling guilty for the blessings you do have in your life, and sorry for feeling like you don't appreciate them - but do. The child your child has become no matter how old he is or what he's done he's still YOUR chlid and hoping there is just one other person out there somewhere that understands that without judgement. Wondering if - and getting angry to the point of almost hating yourself for it, and getting angry at anyone that has an opinion about what should happen to your child that doesn't really know the real him, the good in him - the parts of him that you know exist in him - that you wish were there all the time, not just part of the time. Being angry at him for the stupid mistakes and thinking - But you know - it's been so long - and then thinking - WHAT am I thinking? Hoping he gets help, and wondering if the system that's already failed him thus far HAS any help but remaining hopeful - always - always hopeful because it's all you have left ------they've taken everything else. Haven't they? So I'm here to tell you dear heart - NO. They haven't taken everything else. It may feel that way at times, but there is always hope. And while there is breath in you? I know my nephew will always have someone looking out for him, praying for him, keeping a thought in her mind and love in her heart for him - no matter what he's done, or who he's become. Because hope is sometimes all we have, but it's a great start to a great many things, a so many damaged lives. It is my hope? That you continue to be strong, continue to love your son with all your heart, come back here - we miss you.....and know there are a lot of people thinking about your son, and his welfare. I'll keep him in my prayers, and now that's two Moms. Sending my hugs and love Cat - Star [/QUOTE]
