[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 661909, member: 17269"] Copa, my son has hep C, which he certainly got from living on the street, doing drugs, having unprotected sex with other street dwellers..from his choices. he had a scrip and had his antivirals paid for. Hep C can actually be cured now if treated early. He doesn't take his medications. He says he feels fine and thought he would wait till he had some symptoms. Copa, by the time some one has symptoms from liver failure it is too late. I told him that, but it fell on deaf ears. A cure in reach and he won't take it. IF he could be saved by my love and tears and heartache and effort...he would have been saved long ago. The same is true for your son, Copa. People die from carelessness, bad luck, illness, genetics, violence, accidents...all the time. Our sons will die at some point too, before us, or after us. There is nothing to be done about that. It goes back to the four sufferings. We must accept that we will grow old, become ill, lose people we love, die. If we can stop struggling against these inexorable truths we can save our struggles for things we can impact, and be more at peace. Try to let it go, Copa. You can't change his choices. He may do so...but you can't. hugs and more hugs today. I do understand. Echo [/QUOTE]
