[QUOTE="MichelleLynnFl, post: 716277, member: 22068"] Mama5, I am so sorry again that you have to go through this...must say your son sounds worse off than my daughter. :( But, you truly have done all you can and would focus on your job, yourself. I can certainly appreciate you being stress free while he is in jail knowing he is being taken care of, that if he acts out they will not put up with it and control him. Shame that these kids will stop medications that help them. Supposedly at this Salvataion Army Center of Hope they do mental counseling which my daughter attended yesterday. She told me in a text that they are starting her on a different medication Monday. I wanted her to do this very thing and she refused. Last that she text me was yesterday afternoon, said she was on a bus to go look for a job. Of course I am worried a little bit and would love to know what's going on........but, I am very committed this time to following through with detachment. If she wants to text me with positive, getting her life togeather things....am all for it. But these moments of non communication makes me wonder. Well, it's all up to her and I will accept that she has to do this herself. I hope you come to the same place that I am right now. It's very, very nice. But now, I have to deal with my husbands whining about this and whining about that. At least I only have to deal with one now. [/QUOTE]
