I’m really sorry. Really, really sorry. My heart wrenched for you and your family and especially your son.

I can’t imagine though, that a 13 year old would connect or grasp the magnitude of the consequences.

I wish I could wave the God-wand and fix everything for you. Crying with you.

It wasn’t you. It’s not your fault. It’s not because you are his mom. ((((hugs))))

Comment on why having an advanced degree doesn’t prevent you from being an idiot by Chelsea

I really, really enjoy your blog. It is so frank and honest. We are just two years into our journey into the adopt/foster world and it has been an adventure so far. Reading blogs like this both encourages and educates me, and for that I would like to thank you.

When the kids were younger,my husband once drew a target and taped it on the wall. It was for me to hit my head against. I so understand what you are saying.

Thank you for being so transparent. As an adoptive mom with a couple of alcohol damage kids, it is so encouraging to know that I am not crazy and the damage is real. Some days homeschooling is so challenging that I feel like I am hitting my head against a brick wall.

Thanks for sharing,

You always continue to inspire *me* Lindy. That’s why I turn to you when I feel nothing but defeat and despair. I always know you will have something encouraging to say.

Or at the very least you will offer a “I understand how you feel” and I know you do.

I admire you.
