[QUOTE="DDD, post: 505853, member: 35"] Except for validating your feelings the only thing I can offer is the tried and true "take one step at a time". I don't allow myself to grieve too much for what "should have been" "could have been" "might have been". Deep in my heart I know every day that my child knows deep in his heart and soul what is right and what is not right. He also will know to his dying day that he has unconditional love...although not acceptance of his choices. Try to remember how many years you had a healthy child and compare it to the short time that he has fallen off the path...that helps me focus on the fact that "where there is life there is hope". It may not help you much but it allows me to function on a daily basis. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
