[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 402265, member: 805"] k, I must admit, as much as an optimistic as I am, that I agree with Janet. This is almost the same scenario as last time. Your son is definitely a manipulator of his mom. Last incarceration he wrote you letters about how sorry he was, how much he had learned, how much he had changed, how everything was his fault, etc.... But they are words not actions. His actions once released told a totally different story. His unwillingness to share with his therapist first is a little telling. You are a lot more gullible than his therapist. He sang the song you wanted to hear last time and you, with your gentle mother't heart, went through so much preparation for him to come home. I remember your excitement and getting his room ready, and getting the posters, etc. Keep uppermost in your mind what choices he made within the first 72 hours of being home last time. Your son needs GOOD therapy. Can he get it where he is? That remains to be seen. But a 56 page letter to you is not GOOD therapy. It is a first step, surely, but it is only a tiny chip in the iceberg he will need to conquer before he faces real life. I'm sorry to be so negative, but I feel I have to be honest. Hugs, Sharon [/QUOTE]
