[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 687972, member: 20054"] Hi Lil. So agree, Our son is 28 and the hardest part is wondering if he's[I] really capable[/I]. At one point he had ssi (for 5yr) then they determined him to be ineligible. Yet, my expectations were that he be honest and at least try (to try to get sober, get work, be respectful)...he didn't do that. Also so agree. No, I understand that my son will not become a rocket scientist (neither will I) but I only hoped for a functioning member of society. But that's on him. We once had an appearingly homeless man stop by the business we have to ask whatever happened to that kid that gave him the winter gloves? What does a parent do with that? I hung on to it to have something to be proud of. My hubs dug out an old prayer journal the other day. We found that in 2004, the concerns for him were the same. It was helpful to read, in the sense that we realized how loooong this had gone on.....without change until recently. The change now ---us. We don't know where our son is as no contact for 7 wks since he was told to leave. Do I ck. arrest records, news reports-sure. I choose to believe that[I] he is out there finding his way[/I] thanks to Leafy's suggestion. I hang on this. But only by a thread. So hard. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
