[QUOTE="Star*, post: 321972, member: 4964"] Horserider, I'm so sorry for your hurt. In the last years I have managed to have Dude one Thanksgiving holiday (last year). The others were spent in Residential Treatment Center (RTC), so I really do know how bad this stings. May I be so bold as to suggest something that may help you? Cancel Thanksgiving traditionally. Just a day. When your son can be part of YOUR families celebration? THEN have YOUR FAMILY Thanksgiving. We did this a couple times, and it actually helps a Mom's heart more than you think. I got a lot of support from the board when I was so depressed I couldn't get out of bed for days straight being so sad missing my son. Instead the next year? I volunteered at a homeless shelter, and it was really uplifting, then we did OUR family dinner when Dude could come home. It wasnt' the ideal holiday - but it was better than being in "Tiny Tim" days. Just a thought - My other thought - was to drive to where he his - and ask if he can't come home - could you take dinner to HIM? Court systems just hoovers. Hugs - HUGE, I SO FEEL Your Pain HUGS.
