[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 658020, member: 18958"] Echo, thank you so much for your kind, generous, open, and heartfelt response. My heart breaks for my child. He is my only child. He is the love of my life. I cry as I write this. I would do anything, anything...as would you to make it better for our sons. You know from reading my posts that by trying and trying I was making it worse. This is the loneliest place a mother can be. I miss my son so much. When I am not in contact with him, my heart aches. My body aches. Echo, the pain is really sometimes more than I can bear. My son too was the sweetest most loving boy. He is now a man, so he cannot any longer be such. He has turned bitter and aggressive. His life on the streets has made him such. Or is it that doors keep getting slammed in his face. Again, like a refrain, I feel the need to say, I would do anything to make his experience of the world a different one...if it was in my power to do so. But I cannot, any longer, change his world. All of this that I am going through is such slow going. This site for me is like a sweet, long drink in a desert. When I post or read the posts of others and am touched by them, I understand the purpose of all this, for me. What we are going through as much as anything else is the essence of motherhood, of parenthood. I googled 'Virgin Mary, to look into her eyes, as Cedar suggested, and I saw my own. Through you and others here, I am finding in myself the depth of my love, commitment and courage as a person. Without you and others I would never have come to this place. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
