Oh, no!!! I'm so, so sorry for what you're going through, and for the years of suffering and worry and fear you've endured - and for your son's suffering, too. I'm praying that the outpatient help will work, and that the part of your son that wants to do well is going to be able to beat those demons and live a great life.

I know that terrible hell of waiting for the phone to ring with one kind of terrible news or another - between Jacob and his birth mother - waiting to hear what I finally heard about Jacob, or waiting to hear that my daughter's body had been found, due to her "work" on the streets ...

I'm sorry you and your family are going through all of this. I'll keep you in my prayers (if that's okay?) and always know there is another Canadian mum out here who is sending you love and healing hugs. 💝
