I do not honestly expect to get much more than a honeymoon period out of this, but I'm hoping during that honeymoon we can get him established in some place like Gary Job Corp, and that this experience would help him stick with it for awhile. I do feel sorry for him, but I'm realistic too. Thanks for your concern. <br /><br />Marymarythemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205319256573120866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-71250386997344740652013-01-07T15:19:18.005-06:002013-01-07T15:19:18.005-06:00"Poor bear"? Please keep in mind that e..."Poor bear"? Please keep in mind that everyone seems to "see the light" when they spend an extended amount of time locked up. The problem isn't getting Bear help - the problem is Bear benefiting from that help and following thru with that help once he's out. I am not trying to sound cruel - I have just heard this exact same scenario over and over again with some of my adopted mom-friends' kids. We think about how we would feel in their situation and think that's how they feel too. We think, "Oh, they must be so happy to hear from us" or "Oh, they must be so relieved they're finally out of jail - they certainly can see now that they need to move home and take advantage of all the things we are offering them". The reality is that they will say and do ANYTHING while they're locked up - and I'm not saying they don't believe it when they're saying it - just that once they aren't locked up things look very, very different and their good intentions tend to fly out the window. Please don't fall into the trap of thinking he's completely sincere and that this experience will change his life forever for the better. It will ultimately hurt you more than it hurts him because you still seem so emotionally invested in his success/failures.<br /><br />Take care of you!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612523674452864077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-78169472913015251172013-01-04T13:03:46.059-06:002013-01-04T13:03:46.059-06:00I feel really bad for bear... *shigh*I feel really bad for bear... *shigh*Sunday Koffron Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859347065249826781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-28309674783033773412013-01-04T07:35:54.819-06:002013-01-04T07:35:54.819-06:00Maybe you could have him write a letter to these p...Maybe you could have him write a letter to these people: http://www.okdlc.orgr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16308261231346881996noreply@blogger.com
