[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 661676, member: 17269"] Nat...welcome. You sound like you are in a good place to start building your reserves and taking control of the rest of your life. I am very sorry about your son...I too have a mentally ill son (mine is 21), a twin as a matter of fact...his twin sister just finished college and has a job. My Difficult Child is in jail for robbing two nice people who were leaving a movie theatre . I too can see that sweet boy if I look...but I don't look there, because that sweet boy is gone, just as his young momma (me) is gone, just like his sister's days of being a hideous teenager are gone...time passes on, and we are who we are today. Your son is a sex offender on the lamb, who bullies and abuses his mom. Mine is a leech on society who begs, sleeps in parks, uses drugs, and scared perfectly nice people to death. We are our actions. Your actions, newcomer, going forward, will be to define yourself as a whole person and a witness and bystander to your sons adult life. It sounds like you have taken some big and scary steps to get there. I"m glad for you that you are on that path. We are here, all day and all night. Feel free to explore your own thougts, feelings, doubts, the ugly and the good. We'll hold your hand because we understand. Good luck, Nat, and welcome, Echolette [/QUOTE]
