I am sorry. It is such a hard thing when we have to let go of even the most basic dreams for our children. Do you have a therapist to help you work through this? It has to be one of the hardest things for a mother to face. Many years ago, my brother hit a bottom and ended up in jail. The 2nd time in 3 days, my parents left him there for 2 weeks. My mom had to do all the jail/court related stuff by herself, and she later had a nervous breakdown partially due to this. I remember her crying to me as she described searching for shoes with no laces and then seeing my brother in a jumpsuit chained to a line of other men. Talking through it all with her therapist really helped her.
