[QUOTE="MommaTried24, post: 765383, member: 33205"] Yes everything you said is so true! Slow and steady wins the race though and our minds are truly our greatest enemy. You are so right about our kids in jail too. Lay around, sleep, play cards, etc. Sadly, I think jail is the only time my son feels like he has friends. Everybody in the neighborhood left him when he started seizing. They wouldn't even step foot in our yard after that. So sad. He gets to do nothing in jail which is what he did at my house. They should be made to work or do something productive in my opinion. For years he had so many opportunities to turn it around living free at my house. Totally had it made! So yes, the worst things I've imagined have already happened to him before jail. Including rape (his father left him with an older male during his visitation every other weekend) and that's when he started having seizures keeping all of that in. He didn't tell anyone for two years! I understand why he drinks. So yes, today is a good day and yes I know how you feel missing your own mother. Mine has been gone 7 years now and she was truly my best friend. She was 69 and had lupus for years but pneumonia is what got her. RIP Momma, I love you and miss you so much!
