[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 740044, member: 23349"] Tanya, what great news and what a wonderful feeling. To hear his voice and have a real conversation after two years ... I can't imagine what that must feel like. It's wise to stay guarded, but it sounds like there is reason for hope. Prison was the turning point for N. It's been five years now, and while there have been some bumps in the road he has not gone back to the place he was before prison and court-mandated rehab. He has given me a beautiful grandson, now turning three, a brilliant and loving stepgrandson, and a daughter-in-law whom I love with all my heart. Their lives are not at all easy - they are far away from me and money is a constant struggle - but they are both working hard and making it work. Sometimes when they are telling us what we want to hear they also mean it. Sending hugs and prayers that this will be your son's turning point also. I'm so glad you had that conversation. Keep your boundaries in place, but let yourself feel happy, too! [/QUOTE]
