[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 698362, member: 17542"] Ah SNM I see a lot of hope and change in your story. I remember every time my son was in jail and in for many months as a time, I would see his story as "written." In a sense, done, and in truth, I read it as I had failed and he had failed. Even with six years, this is not the end of his story and your story. It is another chapter. I am glad you said: it is what it is. That is the cold light of reality. He made choices and choices have consequences. I hear you saying that he has neurological problems and I am sorry about that. And yet, he still has to live by society's rules as we all do. The good news is he is somewhere with three meals and a place to sleep and he has time to settle down and perhaps to change. I am so glad to hear you say you cried in court. Feeling your feelings is very important. Feelings are real even though they may not be factual. They are just feelings but they deserve time and attention...but not action. Let the feelings flow. You are changing---that is clear. Keep moving forward with your own life. There is nothing to do now about your son. He will be there at least for a while. Spend that time now to continue your focus on you. If you need to grieve at times, that can help move you forward as well. And congratulations on your MSN! A wonderful accomplishment! [/QUOTE]
