[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 627127, member: 1514"] Wow such great responses to this thread. I dont think there is anything harder on earth than being the parent of a kid like ours. This limbo is awful. In the dark of night our fears come and it scares us to death just what could happen. I think that fear is probably worse than knowing. I cant say for sure because I havent had a child die. I do know that I have somewhat the same internal chronic fear running through my life, body, mind for my difficult child that I did for my middle son when he was in the Marines. With him I always knew there was the big risk. I lived with the fear of having a big black car pulling up in my driveway for 4 years. Now I fear cop cars. Oddly they could bring bad news for both of those sons now....one is a cop and the other is, well, difficult child. Back then I had nightmares of battle, now I have nightmares of other things. Life is funny isnt it? I dont talk a whole bunch to my son even though he is living in a home I own. I dont live with him. If he calls me we may talk superficially for a few minutes but I dont think I have stayed on the phone with him for more than 5 minutes in months. I just cant think of what to say and he seems to have a hard time too. And he was so close to me before. I dont know what will happen in the future. I hope for better but I am guarded. I dont think I can take being hurt much more. [/QUOTE]
