[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 87061, member: 3305"] Janet, Praying that ant may learn that sobriety one day at a time must become a way of life for him. I hope he will be a part of an AA group while he is in jail/prison. I hate that jail/prison is where so many of our addicts end up along the way. Maybe this will be the "bottom" for ant. I will also say a prayer that he is surrounded by people, even other inmates, who can love and help him. I prayed this all the time for oldest difficult child when he was locked up. I prayed for his safety and protection...I pray the same for ant. I wrote oldest difficult child letters and even got to know one of his cell buddies and he wrote to me and even drew pictures for me, one that I framed of an angel crying. I felt some sense of peace knowing who my oldest difficult child became "friends" with while locked up. I am sad for your "mommy heart" I know the soulful tears the prayers that come deep from within...and even when they push us away with hurtful angry words and fitful displays at some point that part of us that reaches out to remind them of how much their lives mean to us, how much they are loved, breaks through. it always does for me and I know it will for you too. We are their mom's for life no matter Where they rest their head. Janet, that's the other thing... When my oldest was locked up there was a "part of me" that was ALSO locked up with him. That's how I felt. I am glad you have Kaleb and he has you. I wish there was a way to make this easier for you the pain at times is too much. Remember to keep reaching out for hugs and love and support. You are and have always been a wonderful mother! If allowed maybe some of us could be a penpal to ant. (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) and loving prayers. Tammy [/QUOTE]
