[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 8396, member: 1697"] My brothers middle child - his mom (my bro is his stepdad) no longer wanted to keep him at age 11 when he went into psychiatric hospital. He had been with my bro since his birth. Me and my husband took this nephew into our home and our life. We had him till he was 16 and his mom decided while she did not want him, we could not keep him, either. The boy left our home and left the state on his own. That was in 1995. We have not heard one single word from him since. I know he DID follow my husband lead and he joined Marines and was in Iraq 3 times. Me and my children also read his MySpace.and yes, it does bring us some level of comfort to know he is alive, he updates his MySpace. We miss him, love him, worry over him. My youngest brother was only 19 when our mom died last year and he lost his dad when he was 11. DUe to many family issues, I had been estranged from the family for several years. Me and my children watched at MySpace to keep up with my youngest brother, and currently are working to build trust and stronger bonds, but it was becuz of MySpace and us being able to post to his MySpace that we reconnected. My youngest brother is 28 years younger than I am, and I had no contact with him except for MySpace since he was 16. Again, I understand he may not post the truth about anything but, yes, seeing him update I at least know he is alive. And now at age 21 he IS slowly letting us into his life some. I know my bio dad has always run from family and commitment.....I know absolutely he does not have internet, has NO interest......but I think I might have felt some measure of caring from him if he had EVER shown ANY interest at all in my life. Keep doing what you are doing, follow your heart. [/QUOTE]
