[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 71556, member: 1514"] Could it be the time for these boys to maybe start getting it? I am not going to go quite as far out on the limb as and say that I am as convinced that mine is as completely healed as yours is but I do think he is headed down a path he hasnt known before. Cory was released today for two reasons. One was the fact that they had reduced him down to as far as they could without him being able to handle thing on the outside. Its a weird county. There are screw ups in his cases and only he can deal with them on the outside and his PD wont call him while he is in jail...go figure. Number two is that he was able to get out all on his own with minimal involvement from us. He has set some realistic goals for himself. He wants to spend massive amounts of time with his daughter. He wants to keep off of pot and says he hopes that wont be a problem considering he hasnt had any in 27 days. I have offered to attend AA or NA classes with him anytime. I think those would be good for him and may make those mandatory for the time being. We took the baby with us to pick him up from the jail and when he saw her and she saw him, it was priceless. She let out a squeal, wiggled out of her Papa's arms and ran full tilt into her Daddys arms. Cory simply busted out crying. He had been so afraid she would forget him. I pointedly said...dont ever do this to her again. I told him...your daughter has missed you and I have cried buckets over you. What you do effects more people than just you. He broke down and one of the guards came over and told us that he really felt that Cory had internalized some deep changes this time. He said last time he was just all bravado and bs but that this time Cory was so ashamed of what he had done to get him in there and how to change his behavior. We shall see. All he wants right now is to take care of his little girl. He cant get enough of her. Its adorable. We cant deny him that right now. I dont blame him at all. He fed her, bathed her, changed her, gave her medication, rocked her to sleep, played with her. Oh and one other big piece of news. That cousin of his that broke his neck...well he has arrived back home recently. He is pretty much a quad but has some use of his arms but very limited use of hands. He can use them to swipe at his face but no real control of them. He has also lost so much weight it isnt funny. He will be in a chair for life. It has scared Cory to death. Really gave him something to think about. Ryan asked Cory to go to church with him to accept the Lord into his life in case anything should happen to him. Cory has agreed to go to church with him. They say God works in mysterious ways. Maybe it took Cory going through all this and seeing all these bad things to reach out to Him. Im praying with everything in me that this was his bottom. It will take him many years to climb back up but it can be done if he wants to put forth the effort. One step at a time. [/QUOTE]
