[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 638280, member: 13542"] Lil, what may help you to remember is that if he stole $700 from someone else, his room would be a jail cell. At least in a shelter he has his freedom. And, something that seems to have helped some other Mom's is to put a picture of a soldier up near the phone so when your son calls you are reminded that there are boys your sons age in another country wearing fatigues and carrying an assault rifle putting their lives in danger every single day. He is not a baby. He is an adult who made some serious mistakes and this is the consequence. You didn't do this to him. He did it to himself. And, I know, believe me, how much YOU are suffering. Just try to remember all the facts, not just his feelings. He created all of this. Take care of you in the middle of all of this. Make sure you are nurtured and cared for. [/QUOTE]
