[QUOTE="JKF, post: 629915, member: 12470"] This helped me tremendously yesterday CJ! I kept thinking it's only one day. It's only one day. It really helped so much! And I did have a prayer conversation with my mom - as I do often - and the only thing I ever ask her for is to look over difficult child and keep him safe. That's all I want. Lucy - my friend said he was quite upbeat and was laughing because she even brought him a cupcake from the convenience store and a candle and she, alone, sang Happy Birthday to him at the train station at 11 pm. He said "OMG - how ghetto is this" but he said it jokingly and they both had a good laugh. She sent me a couple of pictures, and while it was difficult for me to look at them, I forced myself to really look. It was heartbreaking but at the same time it comforted me greatly knowing that he got to have at least one positive birthday experience no matter how crazy it was! Yes COM - she's amazing. I am forever grateful that she understands this situation and is there to help me at times like this. She said when she was there last night 2 cops actually approached them and asked what they were doing. She said obviously they were curious because it was quite the sight. My 20 year old, mentally ill, homeless difficult child and my 37 year old well dressed, social worker, bff sitting there at the train station enjoying pizza and birthday cupcakes at 11 pm. She said she went over and spoke with the officers privately and gave them a bit of a background. One officer asked if he was mentally ill and she told him yes, and he said his son is too, with bipolar, so he understands. They said they would be keeping an eye on him to make sure he's ok and no one bothers him. That helps me feel a little bit better. ME TOO! I am SO glad! [/QUOTE]
