[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 193493, member: 1514"] Star...I so know what you mean. I have advocated, begged, pleaded, led him by the hand, stood on my head and did just about every other assorted thing known to mankind I could think of over the years to attempt to get mine some semblance of reasonable behavior. Heavens to Betsy...I have even allowed him to live with me far longer than he ever should have been here. I was convinced that with enough time and guidance and just one more chance...he would turn it around. NOT! I kept waiting for that magic year. Well now I am going to still be waiting but I guess Im going to be waiting from a different place. I am going to love my son that is not with me because of choices he has made. I am going to borrow Timer Lady's definition of a family of different addresses even if one of those addresses happens to be the state pen. I am going to know that I did all I could do for him. I can still find out what the rules are for whatever facility he is in and write to him and if possible, send him books or packages (if I want to do so). In the meantime, I am going to go see his daughter in a pageant this weekend and take pictures. I will send him a few. Time will go on without him. [/QUOTE]
