[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 470837, member: 2315"] Thank you everyone. The sadness has settled in. It is actually making me nauseous. I will be working really hard on pushing through it. I am not going to let it rob me of my happiness with the good things in my life. If I can't keep it at bay, then I will seek out help. I have learned from past difficult child trauma to get help when it is overwhelming. I spent the day with my youngest grandson and we had a wonderful time but as soon as it was over the sadness swooped back in. It helps to know all of you are here and understand what this might be like for me. I haven't told my other children yet. I am not sure if I'm going to. We have alot of family events comming up that difficult child wasn't going to make anyway so will probably just leave it be for a while unless pressed. DDD, I am unsure of what the system is like in the state he is in. He had a juvie record there that probably weighed in on the sentencing. That along with his faliure to show on two occasions and the previous convictions in my state probably sealed the deal. difficult child is scary on paper. I do not think that his mental health was even brought into the picture. I think they just saw what they felt was blatant disregard for the law and the court and threw the book at him. Honestly I have no problem with that. He has to learn that he cannot go around hitting people and ignoring the rules of the system. If this sentance means he can get himself straightened out and also get training for an after-prison life I can find peace in that. He told me previously that there was a possibility he would be sent to a laundry facility near where we used to live. I do not know if that is still a possibility. I think it might be an appropriate setting for him though. At least he wouldn't just be sitting in a cell doing nothing. -RM [/QUOTE]
