[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 723507, member: 20054"] Oh LBL. I'm so sorry. When I found concrete evidence, once again, that our son had located my purse in "the new hiding place", our therapist said "well, it was ordained that you found that". Sounded unfeeling at 1st, but I came to realize I so needed to "get it", otherwise nothing would have changed. I thought as always, son was better. Betrayal of trust and using our hope against us, that's the crux. ...and I try to remember feelings aren't facts...feel the pain, spew the anger in a pillow and then do something for you or someone that would appreciate it. Now's the time. [I]He[/I] gained consequences for his actions and for that[I] you [/I]now hurt. Had it not been you and your finances involved, other people or situations would have brought the same result or much worse. I have felt, as many here, that my son is safer in jail and the truth is, until he is clean, others are safer if he's in jail also. My heart wishes this wasn't so...big hugs LBL-I know how much you must hurt. You did the right thing. [/QUOTE]
