[QUOTE="Star*, post: 440063, member: 4964"] CTMom- I sat here, and just a million things went through my mind for you in a generic sort of way having never met you, your husband or your son. Trying to think of what similarities there have been for all of us over the years; the struggles, the dreams that have reinvented and changed, been altered, lost. Watching our sons make poor decisions, then baby steps towards becoming men. Wishing at times we'd never ever heard of Conduct Disorder or any other mental illness, or the words Tough Love, detachment, therapy, IEP, police station, arrest, felony, prison, jail, It's maddening. It's like a bad dream come true that you wish you could just wake up from and have a different dream from, wake up again and make it all different. I've had that dream so many times sometimes the lines between reality and my own fantasy are so skewed when I did wake I had to pinch myself to know exactly which reality I was in. I hurt for you. More than you know, because over the years this board and it's members have been like family. You're not an island although I think you think because of what my nephew did? You are all alone. Well, here's some news for you - I still care very much about you, and I still care very much about him, and I'll never stop praying for him to be safe while he is where he is. I've just got to believe that he will be there, safe, learn, be humbled - and while it may not seem like it now - because it wouldn't seem like it to me either at the moment - he's going to be okay. Please keep in touch.....and let me know how he is doing. If you would do that I'd so appreciate it. If you'd allow me? I'd send that kid a Christmas Card every year so he'd know I'm thinking of him. Again - Just know you're loved - and so is he. Okay? Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
