[QUOTE="Lil, post: 712434, member: 17309"] ↑↑↑ THIS! ↑↑↑ This has been SO HARD for me! I always thought, [I]"I just want him to be happy."[/I] I've come to the realization that, that's simply [B]not true[/B]. I don't want him to just be happy. I want him to be a productive member of society, even if that means he's [B]not[/B] as happy as he would be as a homeless stoner. I always expected my beautiful, brilliant son would graduate high school and go on to college. I always expected him to have a good job and his own home and eventually a wife and kids. I expected him to have friends who were decent people. We all have expectations and hopes and dreams. I literally, while writing this have gotten a text that he has been turned down by the friend's grandmother that he thought he might stay with for a while. So he's back to being on the street, no sleeping bag or anything, and it's snowing there again. :( Copa my dear...I so wish I had a way to keep my son safe and warm. [/QUOTE]
