[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 717037, member: 18958"] Penny. I am speaking only as an outside observer. A la: Easy for me to say. That caveat aside. First. This is dominoes. And they are falling. And not your son's way. You have protected the baby who is helpless. Every other person involved has free will. No one of us is a perfect mother or was. Second. Son can change. But it will have nothing to do with you. You are not responsible for his actions. All of this you know. Let me reiterate. No mother could be doing better or more. Finally. Sooner or later cps will probably have a monitor present when the baby is transferred. For now is it possible to meet at somebodys house? PS This is not about what you did or did not do or the more you can or should do. This you know. No amount of beating yourself up will make him save himself. He can. But on his terms and timetable. I wish it was different. G-d knows. For you. For me. For the rest of us. No amount of our flesh will make it change for our sons. They are men now and need to do it themselves. I would urge you to make distance. He is destructive and thinking poorly now. [/QUOTE]
