[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 696789, member: 20054"] Hi Dawn. Many of us here "get it". We do. So true in every respect. BUT-we did teach them, didn't we? I'm not sure it's naive to think they will function as adults, I think when you're working so hard to get them through your heart can't bear the thoughts of future struggles, failures. So we simply keep trying, that's what we do, we're moms. We fix it. And then we can't. I too have felt better knowing my son was in jail, sounds absurd, who lives like this? We do. I've thought "He gets arrested and I get rested". Because he has a roof over his head, 3 hots and a cot, he isn't being hurt or hurting others. Take time now to restore you. You've done all you can and then some. There's a time to just stop and watch, backing off to see how this plays out, knowing you have no part in it. Do you still love him? Of course. Continue to love him, but first love you. You'll make it. We're here. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
