[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 505967, member: 1514"] I want to hop in here and say that mom's do have that unique connection to their children and I believe in some respects we will always tie ourselves in some way to their successes or failures. When they do well, we feel it in our hearts and when they arent, well, there is that part of us that just feels like we are there with them in some small way. I know I have always been extremely bonded to Cory and can almost feel myself go up and down with him like a twin. Your situation really hit you out of the blue. However, I have seen dozens of success stories where kids get clean after a few years and return to the fold. I have no idea if you watch The Voice but there was one on there last night. A young man who had been lost in the world of crack for many years had come clean and was auditioning last night. And who was with him? His mom. He talked about how sorry he was for all he had put her through all those years and she just sort of batted the past away as she talked about what a wonderful son he was today. Thats how mom's are isnt it? I know right now its very raw but it is entirely possible that it wont be too long before he has a turn around. Your son is extremely smart. You raised him well. He will always have that to rely on. Remember that. [/QUOTE]
