[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 569093"] I'm grieving along with the rest of you, along with the country and most of the world....for all of the same reasons most are ...but I think for members here the grief is especially deep....all of the "Adam's mothers" here...all of the tears and heartbreak and doctors appointments and medications and interventions that we share, the support we give each other....so that we may feel some hope for our children, for society...and this crushing blow we were all dealt this past Friday has knocked the wind out of me....has made me wonder if there is hope for my son when the challenges we are up against are so great. I have posted this before during the years but once again, I am so grateful for this forum, for the support of the other parents here. I have been doubted and debated over the past few days when I have expressed my personal struggles with getting mental health care for my son...when I have given people the facts that, at least where I live, it is easier to obtain a gun than it is mental health care, they tell me that the challenges I have faced getting care for my son are the result of my own "choices"....like choosing to get divorced or to leave the corporate world that was destroying my health. There is so little support for the "Adam's mothers" in the world....even when we bravely reach out. I am so grateful for this site and the other members here. My "soft place to land" for sure.
