[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 255031, member: 1514"] K...I know this is hard. It is the absolutely worst, hardest, gut-wrenching thing a parent has to go through. It is even harder when you have to do it all alone. I cant imagine having to go through watching my baby being taken away in cuffs and shackles if I hadnt had his dad to lean on. I remember those days only too well. I remember wanting to run away to Canada and hide. Right now, there is nothing more you can do. You can rail at the injustice of it all for a time but you have to get on with life. You cant let difficult child see you all upset. Concentrate on letting him see a good front. He is where he is, he will get through it, you know he can do it. For whatever reason this happened, it happened. Sometimes life throws us curve balls that we dont know are going to end up being something that really end up being good in the end. Maybe that will happen here...maybe it wont. But it appears for the foreseeable future difficult child is going to be in the custody of Department of Juvenile Justice, so we have to hope that they can see his problems. There are mechanisms in place for him to get the help he needs and that may just well happen when everyone stops focusing on you and starts focusing on him. [/QUOTE]
