[QUOTE="horserider, post: 322756, member: 8054"] Thank you all for your support, it helped me more then you know. I read your replies Thanksgiving morning and it gave me strength to go to a family gathering which I was going to skip. Star, I told difficult child we will have a special dinner next weekend as you suggested, his first pass home in 4 months, if all goes well this week. klmno, I explained to my son how lucky he is to even have the opportunity to earn passes home. I told difficult child I talk to other parents, my "internet support group" (no more info given then that) and expressed the situation with your son. So you not only helped me, you helped him come to some realizations. He earned "resident of the week", I was so surprised and pleased. The closer he gets to that pass eligibility the more he tries to be successful.:woohoo: My heart goes out to the other parents when they leave visitation at the same time. I told another mom that was in tears, "just know you are not alone" and we talked for awhile. I hesitated to approach her, but I've learned from this group that sometimes you just need to talk to someone who truly understands what your going through. It was my way of paying it forward. Have a good weekend, enjoy your shopping if your adventurous! :shopping: [/QUOTE]
