[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 505271, member: 1953"] (((HUGS))) Thanks so much. This board has always been a tremendous support for me ever since I joined initially in 2003. Getting through it doesn't happen. You change, your life changes, you adopt a new normal. Life isn't as happy as it used to be. For me, time stopped nearly 6 years ago. I did find wonderful support groups both on line and in person. In our community, 12 people under the age of 23 died in 2006. Alex's dear friend Kenny was found dead in his bed 3 weeks after Alex died. His mom found him on Mothers Day. 3 weeks after that, another one of his friends, Gary(from Middle School) died. Another friend lost her son 2 years ago. The year Alex died I went to 4 funerals of young people. I understand it is still in our community. My community does a great job in ignoring the monster this has become. ((Zardo)) thank you. I always stop by and see if my input can be helpful. I wish I would've found this site when Alex was much younger. Maybe I would've been able to....... well whatever, the what if's and should haves can bury me if I let it. Best of luck with your difficult child's. I aways check in and do not mind sharing our story if it helps. You can ask me anything. Sometimes the only way to feel good is to help somebody else.
