[QUOTE="JKF, post: 639453, member: 12470"] This is one of the very first things I learned from you RE. It's been a powerful tool and I use it every single day. I remember a couple of years ago, when you first gave me this advice, I thought "yeah right like that's gonna work" but I gave it a chance and continued to practice it daily and it definitely works. We certainly are Echo. I can't believe how similar our stories are. Our difficult child's are the same age. They are both mentally ill and homeless. They have had services put in place time and time again and each time they chose not to comply, etc. It blows my mind. I think so too Echo. I truly do and the thought exhausts me. I agree MWM. Therapy is the way to go. I've done it in the past and will be making an appointment to go again in the very near future. Thank you CJ! You're 100% right. I must and will go on! I'm going to look into this more SS. I spoke with an attorney a while back and I was told that it's a long shot. I just pulled up some more info about our laws here in NJ regarding this and I'll be doing some research this afternoon. Same with my difficult child. He is blacklisted from every single place here in the county and I'm sure other counties as well. Cheap nasty motels, shelters, etc. He even got kicked out of the homeless tent city not too long ago but they apparently agreed to take him back. It's only a matter of time before he blows that again as well. Hahaha Cedar! The same thing happened with my difficult child! Twice at two different shelters! I called constantly with questions and concerns, etc and the director of both shelters said something to my difficult child about the fact that I called way too much. Helicopter mom indeed! lol As always, thank you all so much for the support and advice! I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't know what I would do without all of you! You truly give me strength! I'm having a much better day today. I haven't heard from difficult child since he hung up on me yesterday but I'm not letting myself go to my dark place. I'm trying take each moment as it comes. It is what it is and it will be what it will be. [/QUOTE]
