[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 623649, member: 17635"] That part of your post jumped out at me. Very good that you said those things--better than later [B]wishing [/B]you had said them. COM, I am so sorry. Your difficult child sounds like such a sweet, lost guy. While I hope he does not go to prison, if he does, there may be several opportunities for therapy, support groups, things along that line. I was so scared when my difficult child when to a [B]prison [/B](sounded much worse than jail), but it was a good place, considering.... Once, when difficult child was incarcerated, I called the jail about something...anyway, the guy I spoke with said something like, "It won't stick. They almost always come back" and I remember thinking and perhaps responding, [I]No, not my son. He won't be back. [/I]difficult child was in for breaking a restraining order. Within a month, he was back in...because he continued to break that restraining order because he thought he could outsmart everybody. At least, that is what it looked like to me. I will say a prayer for you and your son right now and will continue. The other day I read something along the lines of "What if you have prayed for somebody for 12 years and nothing has changed? Then, make it a baker's dozen". My difficult child does not believe in God. I wish he did. I cannot help but think just feeling that he is loved unconditionally and can go to a higher power for help and guidance might give him peace. Again, I am so sorry. Perhaps this is all part of God's plan for your son and something good will come out of it. Not the way we would choose, and not a thing to celebrate by any means. You sound good. Keep posting. You and your son will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers. [/QUOTE]
