I"m wondering what sort of placement your son is in right now? I assume residential, does it specialize in sexual offenders? I know you said it was a distance away, have you had any contact with him since the assault? Were criminal charges pressed? We signed a diversion agreement so that the charges are hanging right now to see how he does. We'll see. Today was probation and it went well, I'm having one of those optimistic days. Usually it doesn't last too long, but I keep having them. I ran into the state case worker who had the bad luck of being assigned my family when the assault occured last summer. Our file is closed now with him but I still use him as a resource, I was telling him about one of the occurances when we'd provided our son with some privledges which he promptly dissapointed us, I refered to us as "stupidly" believing him. The case worker said that it wasn't stupid, it showed that we still had faith and that was a good thing, a lot of his kids didn't have anyone to believe in them. So for whatever it's worth, we're in this together.
I hope things go well on your visit --
