[QUOTE="savior no more, post: 698377, member: 19838"] Thank you all for the replies. I go through the natural periods of grief. I should not have opened the local newspaper today but on page three right across from the obituaries was his picture and sentencing. At least his name wasn't the headline which had to be in 100 font and his picture was only a 2x3 along with the other co-defendant's. I understand it is newsworthy to report to the community what the disposition is of the people who terrorize their town with robbery. I get it but dang the public shame is hard for me. Most people here know our story and have lived it with me raising this child from school personnel, police, healthcare providers, and fellow parents. I have not one complaint about how he has been treated. I would venture to say 80 percent or more hurt and weep with me in this deal. My son hurts and weeps too. I believe through this suffering will come many lessons and growth. Actually, the six year sentence gives me some relief that this might be enough time for him to grow his frontal lobe and finally learn. Not sure, but here I go - hanging on to hope - my go to elixir when I'm not in reality. chuckles Truth is I might be struggling with him when I'm 80 and watch him die with cancer in the hospital. I took care of a homeless mom and son and this was exactly her plight with him. While he was struggling to walk after surgery with the walker she stated,"I have struggled my whole life to raise this man and now I have to watch him die." Oh my, what a poignant moment that shook my soul that day. Non-the-less we are all just souls on a journey. [/QUOTE]
