[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 50648, member: 1835"] Ant's mom, thanks! My husband and I feel strongly that we must approach his homecoming from a positive standpoint. However, in my deepest heart, I must say that I don't believe that people really change, and my son is still the same person he was when he left. That said, I do believe that he has gotten at least some insight into the negative forces that were driving him when he began his downward spiral, and he has resolved some of those issues. Also, if nothing else, he has learned one simple but important fact: the negative consequences of breaking the law apply to him as well, and that no one can or will save him from them anymore. He knows very well that, if and when there is a "next time," it won't be a group home where life is actually pretty good--it'll be jail. We hope and pray that this fact, if nothing else, will be enough to keep him honest, but only time will tell... [/QUOTE]
