[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 103819, member: 84"] David The pain you are feeling is so real in your post that it hurts my Mommy heart. I'm so sorry you're hurting so much right now. Please know that in order to be at your best to help your son, YOU have to take care of yourself too. It is a tough lesson that many of us parents here have learned. Parenting our kids is emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausting at times, and it's during these times when we have to be extra careful to be certain we taking time for ourselves. Don't be ashamed to go get help for yourself. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Parenting a difficult child is one of the toughest jobs on the planet. Many of us here have had to go seek help for ourselves and it can make a huge difference in how you look at things. You are in no way shape or form a failure as a parent. You are an amazing father who stepped up to the plate and has been there for his son. You've done your best by him, and are STILL doing your best by him to help him grow and flourish. No one can ask more. As for bio Mom...... You did what you thought was best at the time. Okay. So it didn't work out. Mistake made. We all make mistakes. Obviously Mom doesn't want to mother her child. Nothing you can do about that. So I'd leave it alone. Let the tdocs help difficult child cope with that issue while you continue to give him your love and support. But please, go and seek some help for yourself too. I can't offer any advice as far as his camp goes, except that I'd have a major problem with any facility that didn't have regular visits and phone contact with parents for the child. And that whole not searching for him at night just feels sooooo wrong. Many warm gentle ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
