[QUOTE="klmno, post: 506120, member: 3699"] thank you, all! Still no word from PO. I made it clear in my letter yesterday that I'm not in agreement "at this time" and if difficult child comes home and is showing signs of not being rehabilitated or exhibits behavior escalating to delinquency, I would reconsider agreeing to placement in order to keep everyone safe and try to prevent another incarceration for him. difficult child needs to believe in our justice system though and to me, that means he respects the authority but understands it doesn't mean they are gods with no boundaries and he has to be a doormat- he has a right to be given a chance if he's completed his sentence when the law says he can't be sentenced twice for the same crime. I want him to see there is justice and sometimes the law is on his side. If he messes up again, that's on his shoulders. I just rec'd a letter from him that was written late Sun night. I think I'll pin it up at work. It says: "Dear Mom, Well, the Giants won and I'm really excited. I'm giving all my stuff away tomorrow. But I really just can't wait to get out of here. I want to show people that I can do good under pressure and stress, just like Eli Manning did today. Scored in 3 minutes. And I'm going to win just like he did. But instead of a ring, I get a FUTURE!" I'm praying he can hold that thought for several years! [/QUOTE]
