[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 698699, member: 20051"] There is always power in numbers and I think it makes us feel more reassured that we are not alone. SNM. It was a very painful thing you went through and I am glad that you are dealing so well with it. I think a huge part of it is as the program says, "One day at a time" and "letting go of the outcome." We have no control over what they do, the best we can do is just accept that this is who they are right now for whatever reason they choose to be. It doesn't mean we approve, or like it, it's just the we have accepted the things we cannot change. Who knows. Maybe the structure will do him good. At least for the next 6 years you will know where he is and that he has a roof over his head, a bed to sleep on, and 3 meals a day. Like GN said, he can get his GED. He can get into substance abuse treatment groups. He can learn a trade. It isn't optimal, it is certainly never the future you envisioned for your child, but it is what it is right now. Hopefully some good will come of it. [/QUOTE]
