[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 139293, member: 3647"] The hardest thing in the world is watching your child hurt. You wish that YOU had that magic wand, and that you could just take all that hurt away. I went through the same thing with Copper (my 20YO) when she was growing up. It is truly heart wrenching. Someone just wrote this on another post somewhere, and I hope I quote this right. The death of a dream can be worse than the death of a person. Right now your son is grieving the death of his dream, and the fact that bm is still alive (and not responding to him whatsoever) is giving him that glimmer of hope. It would actually be easier for him if she passed away, or is she sent him a letter saying "I do not wish to contact you". That would give him some finality. Instead, the door is cracked open just enough for him to keep that dream alive. Poor kid. But don't think for one second that he does not know who has been there for him all along. He will never forget that. [/QUOTE]
